HoMedics TE-101 Deluxe Large Readout One Second Ear Thermometer with Infratemp Technology, Night Mode and Memory, White This instant


I tried putting it in my ear every which way I could imagine, but never registered anywhere near 98.6. More like 93.6, 94.3, 95.2, 96, 97? I am not going to risk an exchange. I just bought a forehead LCD model for $2.00. I expect accuracy when paying close to $40 for a Thermometer.Get more detail about HoMedics TE-101 Deluxe Large Readout One Second Ear Thermometer with Infratemp Technology, Night Mode and Memory, White.

Bébésounds Digital Baby Scale Get it now!


This scale is light, easy to store, and simple to use. The shape of it makes it good for infants who lie down as well as older ones who can sit. Gives quite variable weights even if used for the same weight three times in a row. If you are really concerned about your child;s weight gain would recommend buying a more expensive professional medical scale. If you are simply keeping a rough tally of weight gain then quite okay.Get more detail about Bébésounds Digital Baby Scale.

Handheld Pulse Oximeter MD300I Buy Now


I eventually do some charity work. I met this old lady in a retirement home that was on oxygen and needed to keep track of her oxygen level. So I bought this oximeter for her. It works very well (according to a nurse at the retirement home) and was way less expensive than most oximeters I found. I definitely recommend it.

PS. Great customer service from Centaurus Medical. Get more detail about Handheld Pulse Oximeter MD300I.

Omron PF9940 PeakAir Peak Flow Meter Order Now


When I opened the box on this unit I know it was a really cheap item. We have gone through several peak flow meters and this is by far the worst.
It was covered by insurance, but it won't work properly the tab doesn't move accurately. My fear is that someone who is just learning about asthma will get a hold of this horrible item and they won't be able to accurately tell what is happening with their peak flow. I'm throwing it away and paying for a high quality one.Get more detail about Omron PF9940 PeakAir Peak Flow Meter.

Sportline Solo 925W Women's Heart Rate Monitor Watch Decide Now


Yes! I just bought another Sportline 925. I wear mine almost every day. My old watch face has a scratch on it and the band is a little dingy. I had it for 2 years... The only time I had a problem getting my heart rate is when I needed to replace the battery. The original battery lasted 1 1/2 years approx. I wear it working out and it reads the same as the equipment I'm on. A lot of the treadmills won't read your heart rate if the speed is too high. So I pop off and use my heart rate watch and can pop back on without stopping.

As a flight attendant I love the feature of having 2 times zone and a major bonus is the backlight to me. I can be in my bunk on rest break and look at the time with the backlight without turning on a light. Same is great when we don't always have clocks in our rooms. I use weak reading glasses to read and the backlight helps to see the time without having to put my glasses on to read it in dim light. I also like that it doesn't have a large face or is gaudy looking. I have received compliments on its looks.

I am completely happy with my watch... otherwise I would have never bought another. Since I have the instructions again I may try to use some of the other features...Get more detail about Sportline Solo 925W Women's Heart Rate Monitor Watch.

Lowest Price Bowflex Ana Digit Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Small)


Bought one of these for my daughter. Good looking watch, seems to be well built, solid. EKG function is not always 'on demand' as it takes some finesse/luck to coaxe a heart rate from the watch (on her wrist AND mine).

Not a deal breaker, but you should be aware:
Advertised, you're led to believe it also displays the calendar day/date, and the back of the product box also alludes to these features, but the product manual says nothing about them. Nada. This smaller HRM watch only has two buttons (used to check heart rate) and an analog set knob...it is not designed with the same pushbutton located on the upper left side of its larger sibling, the Bowflex Ana Digit Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Regular) [...]product . The larger watch uses this button to set the calendar day/date (12/24 hour option). Without that particular button, and no printed instructions, I tried every feasible combination of button pushing to no avail.

If anyone has unlocked the mystery of how to display and set the calendar day/date on this thing, please be so kind as to enighten me. In the meantime, I'm just going with the assumption that every website selling this HRM watch is adding non-existant features.

:)

(PS - I bought the larger Bowflex HRM and sent it back...when the minute hand was on the '12' - the hour hand was way past any corresponding hour numeral, I'd estimate by 20 minutes).

Save Biggest Loser #7206BL Electronic Cal-Max Scale


On the bottom of this scale, down below the battery compartment cover that clearly does not fit and wouldn't stay on the product, let alone stay closed, it says something to the effect of "Made To Our Exact Specifications In China." That should tip you off about this product to begin with (pun intended).

First, it is white, and not black, as shown in the Amazon listing picture. So, if you order it in red, expect green...or if your order in blue, expect yellow. I dunno...maybe I'm jimping ahead and predicting the pattern. Let me know what color you get if you decide to buy this scale and we'll see if we can work out what color you would need order to end up with the color you want.

Second, and most important o fits faults...it doesn't work! It states clearly in the Amazon listing and on th eproduct box that this sclae weighs up to 440 lbs, but that is a lie. It will weigh up to a certain amount (different on each attempt) but will not weigh past about 380 lbs (again, the max weight capacity varied, but never weighed past 383 lbs.), which is about 60 lbs less than the product listing on Amazon and the side of the box states. I determined this after doing some testing with varying weights added to a person weighing 310 lbs. The other couple of functions seemed to work ok, but, who knows if they were actually working accurately considering that the scale doesn't even perform it's most basic function of weighing people.

I did a lot of research before buying this scale. The low price finally sold me on it. I figured that, if what many others said about Taylor scales in general were true...that Taylor scales tend to stop working after three to eighteen months...I could buy three or four of these for the price of a similar higher end brand. I've already ordered a higher end brand, and I recommend that you do, too. Now, say it with me to help me remember: "you get what you pay for, you get what you pay for, you get what you pay for..."

I don't watch the Biggest Loser show. I couldn't care less about the Biggest Loser endorsement. I'm sure fans of the show will be dissapointed by this product. I'm not sure what to think of any product that actually advertizes that it is made in China to "our specifications." I made sure not to allow any children to chew on it or lick it before returning it. I won't buy another Taylor product.

I gave it one star...because it is, as a matter of fact, a bathroom scale, as advertised. I guess it has that going for it.

Caveat Emptor.

Cheap Weight Watchers Glass Platform Scale, Chrome


Don't buy this product. I liked the look and what I thought would be accuracy. Unfortunately, I didn't read some of the earlier reviews and was unpleasantly surprised to note that the scale measurements vary greatly. The variance can be anywhere from ounces to over 15 pounds! Wish I had not bought this product and had to dig out my old $15 scale for my true weight.Get more detail about Weight Watchers Glass Platform Scale, Chrome.

Purchase Reebok Strapless Quick Touch Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Small Size)


This is a good product. I compared the watch pulse rate with the Dr and an exercise machine and they were all the same. This is accurate and easy to use.
