Talking Calorie Counting Pedometer Best Quality


This is the third pedometer with radio that I've tried recently. The radio worked better than the other models although the connection had to be fiddled with occasionally to keep the radio working. However, the pedometer fell off frequently (at least 10X/day) and by the end of the first week, the pedometer function stopped working altogether.

Also, it was hard to figure out how to turn off the talking function, which was rather annoying to be in a meeting or theater, lean over, and to have my step count announced loudly. I just joined everyone else in the room in looking around to see where the noise was coming from. Their customer service people did actually respond to my email query to find out how to turn off the sound function, so I gave this product 2 stars rather than one.Get more detail about Talking Calorie Counting Pedometer.

Danskin Walking Kit with Pedometer Get it now!


I was very disappointed by this pedometer. I wanted something simple to use while I walk around my neighborhood, and this kit seemed perfect. However, I thought the pedometer was difficult to program, and now it seems to get stuck when it counts up. I teach high school, and I'm sure that I walk more than .10 miles during a day, but it won't go any higher than that.

The hand weights are nice -- comfortable to use and reasonably heavy. I'm keeping the kit just for them.Get more detail about Danskin Walking Kit with Pedometer.

Gaiam Pedometer Plus Audio CD (Intermediate Level) Buy Now


I loved this Gaiam pedometer until it fell of my waistband of my pants and broke. The peodometer was great while it lasted. I didn't have any problem with the reset button. You just have to move it off of the steps counted and that locks in the numbers so they aren't changed. The waistband clip needs to be improved or a lanyard added so when it slips off the waistband it doesn't hit the ground.Get more detail about Gaiam Pedometer Plus Audio CD (Intermediate Level).

>Aerochamber vhc. AeroChamber VHC Valved Holding Chamber Order Now


This product works well for adults and kids about age 6 and up. Younger than 6, it's hard for them to inhale correctly. I would recommend they use the Aerochamber with mask.

I use this myself. I find it much easier to inhale my medications with the Aerochamber than without. It whistles when I am inhaling too quickly to remind me to slow down and breathe more deeply. Very easy to use. A definite must have for those who use inhalers. Get more detail about >Aerochamber vhc. AeroChamber VHC Valved Holding Chamber.

Baseline Student Grade Tuning Fork - 256 cps - Weighted Right now


Unfortunately I was in a rush to buy a Christmas present for my child's teacher. We came up with the idea of a "set" of tuning forks for the Sound Unit he was teaching. We saw the price, we saw the product picture, and we ordered it. Usually I scroll down and read reviews before purchasing, but I didn't this time and I am sorry I didn't. As previous people stated, I was annoyed that I received only one fork when thinking I was getting a set. Now I am stuck because it will cost me money if I return it and I would be out a fork and shipping. Amazon needs to revamp this product description and picture because it is misleading. The set is actually in the 50 dollar range not 5 dollars. So if you were to order, READ CAREFULLY to ensure that you are purchasing EXACTLY what you think you are ordering. This is the first time I have ever been dissatified with a purchase through Amazon.Get more detail about Baseline Student Grade Tuning Fork - 256 cps - Weighted.

Lowest Price Siltec Glass Bathroom Scale


This is great scale, can get KG, LB or stone measurements. Very happy with the product, however the shipper of choice, UPS, was abysmal. After paying them over $100 in shipping (bear in mind the scale was only about $70) they delayed, and lied and ignored my requests for information as the product was processed by the incompetants at the Chinese customs department. Thoroughly disgusted with the service and personell at UPS and will do anything I can to avoid using them from now on.Get more detail about Siltec Glass Bathroom Scale.

Save Gillette Sensor Excel Shaving Cartridges for Men - 5 ea


I have had the original Sensor for almost 12 years now, and it still works the best of the ones i have tried. The Sensor 3 blades nick me up more, the Mach 3 again tends to nick me up more as well, and any of the store brand replacement heads for this Sensor just do not work out as well as the original sensor/sensor XL heads. Its great to see Gillette has done what store brands have done long ago, add the 3 blade and it does work better than the others, but the two blades seem to give me the closest shave without irritation, and after 12 years that alot of shaving. Don't waste money on more expensive newer models, if you have this one or can get this one, blades are cheaper and it does better, Gillette sensor blades last longer.Get more detail about Gillette Sensor Excel Shaving Cartridges for Men - 5 ea.

Cheapest ThermoHAWK 420 Touchless Infrared Thermometer


My friend has the 400 model, which they do not make any more. I bought the 420 thinking they must have improved it. They did not. The 420 feels more cheaply made, and it lacks the lens cap. Without the lens cap you can not put this in your pocket or any place where the detector window could be damaged. It is still a nice device, and works well, it is just not a gadget you can toss in your toolbox or pocket without risk of it being damaged.Get more detail about ThermoHAWK 420 Touchless Infrared Thermometer.

Buying Safety 1st Bath Buddy Thermometer


I tried this product out and would not recommend it. The thermometer only goes up to 101 F. While testing the thermometer before using it with a newborn, I ran some hot water and it indicated 101 F even though the temp was almost 106 F!! I tried a few times.

Purchase Mabis 04-228-001 SmartRead Deluxe Automatic Wrist Digital Blood Pressure Monitor


I have owned the MABIS SmartReader for about six weeks. I have found it to be very inconsistent in readings taken at the same time. I took the unit to my doctor's off and he compared it with reading taken on a standard mercury column blood pressure unit. The SmartReader readings varied as much as five to 25 points each instance. The doctor suggested that the unit be calibrated. There is no process for accomplishing a calibration in the instruction book. How may I have the unit calibrated?
Another question: How may the rhe two memory banks be cleared in order to start a new record series?

Where To Buy TenderTykes Digital Pacifier Thermometer, White


This is a good idea in theory, however, it just didn't work for us. Our son took a pacifier with no problems, but he knew this was different and just didn't want to hang on to it. Even though taking a rectal temp is no joy in itself, it's the best way to get an acurate reading. It's all our doctor's office would really take.Get more detail about TenderTykes Digital Pacifier Thermometer, White.

Shop For Beurer PM 65 Heart Rate Monitor Watch


Pros:
*Nice stainless steel casing
*Have a lot of HRM functions, like duratin below/in/out of your training zone, and many more.
*Transmittor belt is comfortable
*Pretty sleek display with very large display
*The monitor picked up the transmitter quickly, did not need to warm up.

Neutral:
*The display is not nearly as bright as the picture. The display seems a bit polarized so it is only vivid at a particular angle. I personally didn't have too much issue with this in the sun.
*HRM are generally thicker than most everyday watches. However this watch is a bit thicker than average HRM watches.

Con:
*Display only supports military time (1-24hr) no AM/PM
*The transmittor is very suseptible to interference. At some points, my monitor was telling my HR was at 187 BPM for a good 3 minute duration and with a few 220 BPM readings. I have use a few other HRMs, both analog and digital (coded) transmittor belts on the same route that I run and worked fine. I could not push my hear rate higher than 180 BPM at best.

Brunton Digital Step Counter Immediately


I was very disappointed with this product. The slightest shake of the pedometer while lying in the palm of my hand made it move forward! When I took it out for a "walk" it was not accurate with regard to my steps or the milage, which I measured against my car spedometer. Pretty far off, actually. Very hard to program, or to manipulate. After all, how can two buttons perform 6 functions!!! Go with the Omron product - much more user friendly.Get more detail about Brunton Digital Step Counter.

Suunto Foot Pod Wireless Transmitter Get it now!


I have had my foot pod for a little over a month now and have enjoyed it. I have not had any problems connecting it with the T6 (yet!). It IS a little confusing at first to figure out how to calibrate it, but once that is done you never have to do it again. It fits nicely on the shoelaces, but sometimes slips off to the side (it is not as accurate if it is not level and pointing straight ahead), but it has not posed much of a problem for me; however, I am not a "serious" runner, only recreational!Get more detail about Suunto Foot Pod Wireless Transmitter.

Low Price Numetrex Heart Sensing Sports Bra (BLACK-SMALL 32 to 34AB)


Decided to give this a whirl with my new Polar F6 after talking to a girl in my spinning class about it - so glad that I did! It was a little disappointing to have it arrive and realize that I needed a different transmitter from the one that came with my watch (You have to have a Wearlink from Polar or the Numetrex one - either can be bought online) to pop into the bra, but I was able to buy a Wearlink separately and it works perfectly! Uber comfy, perfect transmission (heart rate is right on) and NO CROSS TALKING with other spinners in my class! Woo Hoo! I love the fact that I don't have any slipping issues with this.

Buying Emjoi AP30 Body Fat Monitor


This device is an aid to anyone wanting to keep track of their body fat. I got it because I need to lose some serious body fat :D

What I like:

++ You can measure individual sections of your body
++ It's much more accurate that body fat scales
++ It has a "history" so you can access your previous readings

What I don't like:

++ It's a little hard to get used to holding it in the beginning, but you can get the hang of it if you practice!

This pedometer was a great purchase, the only thing I'd like to mention is that you have to wear it in a 'secure' area such as clipping it on your waistband right next to your hip, etc... where it does not have a chance to move around or 'flop around' so-to-speak like it might clipped to a pocket or bag, etc...

BF350 Body Composition Analyzer/Scale (EA) This instant


Excellent scale. Comes with a great computer interface software option. I just found out they released a new software that takes care of all the issues "we" who have it had complained about for yours with what we thought was the solution. They listened. Good deal. From speaking with the manufacture they are working on a suitable Bluetooth adaptor for the scale which will be another great added features.

The scale and software are great for trending and monitoring your clients. You can read the specs on it so wont bore you with those details but this is well worth the money to provide your clients with accurate readings and reports without caliper pinching which only gives you a superficial idea of what is going on with ones body composition.

Sway Personal Care Body Fat Monitor & Scale (Black) Best Quality


I was asked to try out this product for a friend who works for SWAY.

Pros
1. It has a nice glass platform with a black base--very sleek looking--looks great in my bathroom. I think this scale really dresses up a bathroom.
2. Large display and easy to set up
3. Awesome instructions--can really tell someone took the time to make them as informative as they could. I didn't know what the importance of monitoring body fat, body water and muscle as part of the weight loss process, but now it really makes sense. I mean, thin people can still have unhealthy amounts of body fat and "larger" people like me may not necessarily be too fat--I am though. Very nice informative instructions that really educate!
4. As far as I could tell, compared to another scale I have, the weight was accurate and the proportions of fat to water and muscle seemed to make sense as how the instructions explained it--should work great for trending purposes.
5. I know I'm going to lose the instructions, so SWAY thought ahead and added some basic, short instructions on the back--still looks nice too if you turn it over.
6. User memory and scroll-through functions. I'll be able to get my whole family to use it as it has 10-user memory. Also, allows to review the readings by scrolling through after you have been measured.
7. Weight limit is 396 lbs (lets just say 400 lbs) so it can handle a heavy load. I had a friend try it--easily close to 300 lbs--and he had no problems.

Cons
1. The device turns off a little too fast--so you have to be ready to work with it when you get on and off. I think it just caught me off-guard the first time, but in the future I should be ready.
2. I'm not sure exactly how accurate it is. I haven't ever been to a doctor to have my body fat, body water and muscle measured, so I'm not sure how close it is. That being said, I feel confident that I'll be able to trend the readings over time to see as I'm losing weight if how body water, body fat and muscle are being affected. I guess the main thing is it will let me know if I'm losing the right kind of weight--which I think most people do not, which is why they rebound to their original weight after going through a diet.

I have to say that overall, this is a very well made product that should do the job well. I would recommend this product--well done.Get more detail about Sway Personal Care Body Fat Monitor & Scale (Black).

HoMedics SC-475 Digital Bath Scale with Tile Pattern Platform, Instant On and Auto Off Get it now!


My experience is similar to what I've seen in other reviews here. After you weigh yourself once, you will keep seeing that *exact* weight displayed for the next several days. You won't see a new reading on the scale unless your weight changes by more than 1.5 pounds or so. (Which makes the claimed 0.2 lb precision seem kind of silly.)

Thus, in order to get a fresh reading each morning, you have to get the scale to forget your weight from yesterday. Calibrating the scale (by tapping it) does not accomplish this. You have to weigh some other object. Once it has that new weight in its memory, you can use the scale to weigh yourself, and get a different reading than you had the previous day.

Needless to say, a bathroom scale should not require this much effort to use.

It's a shame, because it does have a nice large display and an attractive slate surface, making it distinct from all the glass-and-chrome clones on the market. But I need a scale that tells me my *current* weight, not yesterday's. And this one doesn't fit the bill.Get more detail about HoMedics SC-475 Digital Bath Scale with Tile Pattern Platform, Instant On and Auto Off.

I was very shocked and disappointed to learn when I received my Forerunner that it does not calculate calorie expenditure after a workout.
The main reason I wanted to purchase a HR monitor was to make sure I was not overstressing my heart and that I was working at optimal cardiac efficiency and also to see how many calories I was burning for each workout.
Many lower priced monitors offer this option and I was surprised that with the sophistication of this monitor it did not offer it.
