Cheap Remote Digital Display Scale Health o Meter


Bought this for a physician group practice and no AC adapter came w/scale. Batteries constantly wear down. Good for weighing and low to ground so it is safe but not really efficient for commercial use. Get more detail about Remote Digital Display Scale Health o Meter.

Buying Vicks Pacifier Thermometer


Everything about this baby thermometer is great. The only reason why I did not give it 5 stars is because of how long it takes to get a reading. Luckily babies usually dont mind things in their mouth however if the baby were to open their mouth or spit it out at any time then it can give an inaccurate reading since it takes so long to get the correct temperature. I think next time I will get something a bit quicker.Get more detail about Vicks Pacifier Thermometer.

Buy HoMedics SC-535 Glass HealthStation


I received this as a wedding registry item and thought it was alright at first, but once we started trying to lose honeymoon pounds it became very frustating to not get a consistent result from this scale. I can step on and off and get all different numbers with a range of 5 or 6 pounds. That's a lot when you are trying to lose 10 or 15! I visited the Homedics website, one of the FAQs was concerning this. Their response was that you must allow the scale to reset for 15 minutes in between readings! Since the first result is usually much higher than the medical scale at work, I'm really not interested in waiting 15 minutes for a more reasonable reading. Not a bad looking scale, but I expect more accuracy than this one can provide.Get more detail about HoMedics SC-535 Glass HealthStation.

Purchase `Jobst Relief 30-40 Knee-Hi Black Large Full Calf


Had to use these after my ankle sprain and the doctor recommended them to me. Too bad they were $60-80 at any local stores. I waited a few days and got them here for way less. Same thing I would get from any medical supply at a huge discount. Works great to reduce swelling related to sprains/breaks/possr circulation, Just don't think they offer any support at all its only for swelling period. Just don't leave them on for more than 12 hours your feet will not be happy. Get more detail about `Jobst Relief 30-40 Knee-Hi Black Large Full Calf.

Where To Buy Health o Meter HDM770-05 Weight Tracking Scale, Black


As someone else has mentioned, this scale will give you different readings even if you step onto it a couple times in a row. However, the difference is only by a couple of pounds, so I suppose it will do the job okay if you don't need it to be accurate down to the last pound. Although I had expected it to work better than one of the cheaper $10 scales, so I am still disappointed by its performance. I thought getting a digital scale would mean a more accurate reading.

Also, I have yet to get the weight tracking feature to work. I tap the lower corner but it doesn't display a '1' or '2,' and it doesn't show an up or down arrow, or the previously recorded weight when it's started up and I step on it.

I'd suggest paying a little more for a better quality scale. Unfortunately, I didn't hold onto the receipt so I'm stuck with this thing. I'm not interested enough in tracking my weight to bother spending more money on a scale at this point.

Pros:

does a passable job of judging weight
light and thin - easy to store
nice looking design

Cons:

not very accurate
weight tracker may or may not work
probably too light to handle more than around 250lbsGet more detail about Health o Meter HDM770-05 Weight Tracking Scale, Black.

Shop For Polar F6F Heart Rate Monitor, Black Diamond 1 ea


This watch is great for anyone wanting to monitor their fitness. The diaries of caloric burn, exercise files, and 'Own Zone' options are great. I am on my second F6 though, due to one crucial flaw. Do not swim with this watch!! It says water resistant up to 50m, however I took into a pool to do laps and it fried. I was never more than 3 feet underwater. I think I may have broke the watch's seal at some point before then (I had it a year at that point), but was not overly abusive with it to know for sure. Great watch that I highly recommend, just keep it away from water.Get more detail about Polar F6F Heart Rate Monitor, Black Diamond 1 ea.

OneTouch Ultra 2 Blood Glucose Monitoring System [Health and Beauty] Top Quality


Compared to the Accu-Chek Aviva, it requires a bit more blood and the lance that comes with it isn't very sophisticated, but those aren't deal-breakers.
The backlight feature is very handy and the ability to tag readings with before/after meal, too much/too little food, exercise, etc. is very handy.
Something very useful is the USB cable and software that Lifescan offers for free via their website. It's very helpful when tracking results.Get more detail about OneTouch Ultra 2 Blood Glucose Monitoring System [Health and Beauty].

Pen Step Pedometer This instant


This isn't worth it even if it's a gift. Walking one mile showed steps as: 2,000 +, 5,000+, 650 and 12. Same route, same clothing, same time of day. Once it had a lower total at the end of the walk than at the beginning!Get more detail about Pen Step Pedometer.

Soehnle 63538 Slim Design Quattrotronic Scale, Silver Best Quality


I have had this scale for a few years, but like other people here, I have discovered that it doesn't last. Replacing the battery made no difference. It's past the warranty period, so that's not an option. The Soehnle people say that they don't repair. I hate the throw away society we've become, but it's a useless item now. I can't do anything else but toss it. Sigh. Get more detail about Soehnle 63538 Slim Design Quattrotronic Scale, Silver.

Hospital Overbed/Over Bed Tilt Top Table/Computer Tray Get it now!


Once I assembled this table, I was so excited to begin using it. I sat it in front of me while I was on the couch, and realized it was much too tall for me to use. I took off the wheels - while that is much better, it is still too tall. I do use it anyways, but would have preferred something a little shorter. Also, if you want to carry the thing upstairs, the stem that extends does not have a guard that you can lock so be careful when transporting around the house.

PC-80B Portable ECG Monitor w/sd card extension slot, , includes leather pouch , battery , low shipping rate Buy Now


I had this unit for three day before I broke it. Had it in the cargo pocket of my cargo pants for an hour. Didn't lay down on it or stress it or anything. Took it out and the LCD was cracked. The clear plastic protective cover over the display is just way to thin and pliant. I've carried cell phones and other devices in various pockets for years and never had a device break like this. A shame because a stronger plastic cover would probably cost almost nothing relative to the rest of the device.

Other than that, I liked the device. Easy to use and clear display. It lacks a continuous monitoring mode. You can only do 30 seconds at time, which is a pain when you are trying to catch occasional missed heart beats. If you want the optional leads and software, go directly to EastShore Medical's website where you can order everything together as a package.Get more detail about PC-80B Portable ECG Monitor w/sd card extension slot, , includes leather pouch , battery , low shipping rate.

Soehnle 63700 Calando Quattrotronic Scale, Silver Right now


I wold give it 0 stars if I could!

I ordered this puppy thinking it would be amazing after a friend's glowing rerview of the brand (He had a Zeta). Couldn't be further from the truth! It didnt work... I would weight 170 lbs then get off, get back on and weight 65 lbs - cute trick but not possible in the real world of a size 12.

I bought this and another model at the same time (one for mom), they both had similar issues. I even had some friends check it out when they were over. Same problem for them too.

So I figured what the heck, I'll replace them for the same brand and model... maybe its some crazy fluke? I mean, how on earth could two different models of scale be defective twice? These are not $20 hardware store scales, after all!

I was wrong... defective again.., both of them... crazy! The numbers wont even come up on this one. It's all dashes and dots and peices of what you can tell may be digital numbers IF the rest of the peices were there.

So I did a little research and am going to replace these with Prevention's suggestion of the HoMedics Tri-Fitness Scale (also on sale at Amazon) for about the same price.

Pretty but worthless... hey that makes it pretty worthless, yes?Get more detail about Soehnle 63700 Calando Quattrotronic Scale, Silver.
