Purchase Taylor 7523EF 400 Pound Capacity Glass Scale


I bought mine about a week ago, and I must admit that if anything they under-stated what a work of art this is (it looks like I bought it at the Modern Museum of Art in NYC!), and how well it works. Most scales oscillate on your weight, less and less as it settles down and you sort of estimate your figure there, but not this one. It oscillates for a moment, then LOCKS in on your weight with the blue glow of the backlight making it sooo easy to see your precise weight! I was also afraid the glass top would prove to be too slippery, and it does have a warning sticker on it about not using it with wet feet, but otherwise no problem at all. Feels VERY solid to stand on and I'm a big man, over 6'3" tall with size 14 shoes. I love it. Best scale I've seen yet.

Oh, by the way, Taylor makes professional medical equipment like doctor's scales, blood pressure cuffs, etc., so I really trust their quality.Get more detail about Taylor 7523EF 400 Pound Capacity Glass Scale.

Order Polar F11M Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Grey Pepper, New Design)


If you want a great heart rate monitor for about 6 months then this is the one for you. Mine no longer monitors my heart, but it is still an attractive sports watch, even after new batteries. I would have given more stars for the 6 months that it worked, but I subtracted a star for every $40 or so that I paid for it.Get more detail about Polar F11M Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Grey Pepper, New Design).

DUAL HEAD STETHOSCOPE-GREEN Review


I don't know much about stethoscopes, but this one seems to work well enough. My doctor told me to get one so I could get used to hearing my son's breathing and recognize when he's wheezing before using the nebulizer so we don't overuse it. It is hard to hear my son breathing, which is good cause I know he's not wheezing.Get more detail about DUAL HEAD STETHOSCOPE-GREEN.

New Baby Scale, Pet Scale, High Quality with Music Dispaly, Pink and White Top Quality


I have a baby who has had some health issues since birth, making it hard for him to gain weight. It used to stress me out to go to the doctors office weekly for weight checks to only find out he hasn't gained anything. I decided I needed to take more control of his health and monitor his weight gain on my own, since I hate surprises and I want to know when I need to step it up a little. I have loved having this scale, so I can now go into the doctor's office with confidence. This machine is accurate and works well for my uses. It is sturdy and not cheap looking. It works just as well as the one at my doctor's office. I have no problems or concerns about and am thrilled to have it. It also works well for toddlers too. I would highly recommend this for those who need a little reassurance like I do.Get more detail about New Baby Scale, Pet Scale, High Quality with Music Dispaly, Pink and White.

Sportline Walking Advantage 345 Calorie Pedometer This instant


I am a walker, and a part of a Walking Club. We try to do 5,000 to 10,000 steps a day.

Unfortunately, MOST INEXPENSIVE PEDOMETERS ARE NOT ACCURATE, including the cheap ones from Sportline; that you see in most stores for $5 or under $10.

My friends and I in my club received the 345 pedometer from our Senior Center. It is truly the best. It is accurate!!!

As we are walkers, and very often walk to same places, we know how many steps are involved. This pedometer keeps accurate counts.

Also, this #345 pedometer on the SPORTLINE site is $23.95, plus tax and shipping. Amazon sells this for about $16 plus tax, with NO shipping.

As a bonus, this pedometer counts calories, miles and has a clock. Also, when you flip it up, the numbers reverse so you can read it without taking it off.

I had to replace my original one, because I was afraid it would fall on the floor in a public bathroom. So... I laid it on the toliet paper dispenser, and left it there. Hopefully, the person who found it likes it as much as I did.

MD300C2 Pulse Oximeter By Choice Med Immediately


I've had an "old school" pulse ox forever. You know, heavy with a tiny screen flashing tiny red LCD numbers. Those numbers are positioned so a "medical professional" facing me could read them. Great big help when I'm at Walmart, gasping for air! I had enough of all the squinting, neck-wrenching fun! I needed a new pulse ox, but feared the price.

Enter the MD300C2 by Choice Med. What a difference! A big one! Here are the highlights:

Weight-Although much larger and clunkier than older ones, it is nearly feathweight. Easy to slip on--and off.

Readout- As described. The generous screen displays HUGE blue letters that are easily read by the wearer...no squinting or neck-breaking required! The default position is as pictured, but pushing a button changes the position in numerous ways. However, the changes are temporary and always return to the default position. A disappointment, but not a spoiler.

Batteries-Haven't had it long enough to attest to battery life. I do know that the design leaves no chance of the accidental battery drain which plagues the old ones. It will not work until the button on the face of the pulse ox is pressed. Within 6 seconds after the finger is withdrawn, it shuts down until button-activated.

Some other positives-The included hang string is long enough to wear the pulse ox as a fashion statement...a little long for a wristlet. I purchased mine through Amazon from Best Care. This company included a very attractive (mine was olive green with black trim), sturdy case FREE! If your provider does not include a case, please invest in one and use it.

One little negative-The pushbutton activation is a plus for battery longevity, but it is hard to locate since it is black and blends with the black face. Unless you move very quickly, the display will terminate before putting in your finger. Solution--insert your finger, then activate with the opposite hand. If you have use of only one hand, the button can be gently pushed against any object.

I spent a good deal of time researchng pulse oxes. Had I known the display always reverted to default (which is not clear), I may have gone down a step. All in all, this is a quality product and surprisingly affordable.Get more detail about MD300C2 Pulse Oximeter By Choice Med.

THERMOMETER DIGITAL 9-SECOND Buy Now


I like the bendable tip, it makes it a lot more comfortable for the 10 seconds you keep it in your mouth. But it only measures to 2/10 of a degree, which is mentioned on the package but not on the product page. Maybe that's the best you get with such a speedy reading, but if I had known that I wouldn't have bought it. And who knew you'd have to read the instructions to work it? To see the last temperature, you have to hold down the power button for a few seconds as you turn it on.Get more detail about THERMOMETER DIGITAL 9-SECOND.

Sportline Solo 900 Heart Rate Monitor Watch Order Now


Because of recent open heart surgery, I was looking for a unit without a chest strap, the unit I purchased is great as a watch, but it take at least ten times of activation to get your heart rate. By the time it does record your heart rate, it has gone down by 10 or 20bpm. I would not purchase again, waste of money.Get more detail about Sportline Solo 900 Heart Rate Monitor Watch.

Lowest Price Tanita BC550 InnerScan Body Composition Monitor


Upon the reading of some reviews about this item, claiming that it had a lot of features, I was really excited to see what this scale could do. When I recieved this item, I was dissapointed to find that it didn't have all of the features that it claimed it did.

These are the only things that the scale does:

Weight: Whenever I weigh myself on this scale, it seems like it gives me a different weight every time, but this is only due to the fact that this scale is really sensitive (in a good way), and that I do it at differnt conditions (which the manual tells you not to). If I start weighing myself the way it says in the manual, I bet that the results will be consistent. As far as acuracy goes, this scale is deffinately accurate; this morning I put two of my mom's 8 pound dumbells on the scale and it said 16.0 lbs which means that it is accurate!

BIA: This feature tells you your body fat percentage by sending a small, harmless electric current through your feet. So far, it seems like this feature is the farthest from accurate. Considering that I haven't taken the readings under the same conditions every time, I am going to give the scale the benifit of the doubt and say that the innacurate readings are my fault.

Body Water: This feature will not work if you are under 18! This feature is a nice tool to have, but I am sad that it isn't able to work for me (I'm 16)!

Muscle Mass: This feature will not work if you are under 18! This is also a very nice thing to have, but once again I am dissapointed that it doesn't work on me!

Daily Calorie Intake: This feature will not work if you are under 18! If I am not mistaken, I think that this feature tells you how many calories you need to eat in a day to maintain your current weight. I am also sad that I can't use this feature!

Overall I am very pleased with this scale: it was cheap, and it is very accurate!
I would deffinately recommend it!Get more detail about Tanita BC550 InnerScan Body Composition Monitor.
