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.

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.

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.

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.

ACCUSPLIT AAS440 Step Diet, Activity Wellness Program
The pedometer is great--very simple but accurate, entirely "plug and play" if I can borrow that phrase. It is cheaper with this package than purchased alone. Though I purchased this package mainly for the accusplit pedometer, the booklet turned out to be informative and sensible. Highly recommended.

Low Price Microlife 3BU1-4 Automatic Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor

Order Tanita UM080 Scale with Body Fat and Body Water Monitor
I had a completely dissapointing experience with TANITA. The feature to register your current age, height, and sex is only to calculate the IMC, fat and water percentage, but this scale doesn't store anything. You've got to register manually in a workbook using Excel or something like that to keep track and follow your improvement. My wife was angry because she could not retrived her last reading at all. Therefore I was convinced that it was't a good idea after all.Get more detail about Tanita UM080 Scale with Body Fat and Body Water Monitor.

The First Years American Red Cross Underarm Thermometer Best Quality
When you're child is too old for rectal and not old enough for under-the-tongue, you get this one.
I first bought a Braun ear thermometer that turned out accurate only a small percentage of the time when I got the angle into the ear correct.
I have since bought this underarm thermometer and it is easier to use and therefore gets a more consistent temperature. My 19 month old allows me to hold it under her arm and it only takes 8 seconds, then beeps to tell you it's ready. Very easy to use. You do have to remember to add 1 degree onto whatever reading you get to get the accurate temp.
When my child had a 102F fever last week, I used this thermometer AND the Braun ear one to double check and was able to match up the readings easily.
Only under-the-tongue or rectal thermometers are the most accurate. Perhaps the temporal one as well, but I am not familiar with that one.
Otherwise, I feel using this thermometer and double checking with an ear one is your next best bet.

Low Price Littmann 2113 Classic II Pediatric Stethoscope, Black
Despite the description of Pediatric AND Infant stethoscope and despite the product description stating BOTH stethoscopes are...The product is only ONE pediatric stethoscope, not one pediatric and one infant stethoscope as implied. No infant stethoscope is included in this product. The cost of this is ~$20 higher than an individual pediatric scope again suggesting that paying a little more and bundling, you are getting TWO stethoscopes. Please be aware this is only ONE pediatric scope and does NOT include an infant scope. Get more detail about Littmann 2113 Classic II Pediatric Stethoscope, Black.

Save PF100 Peak Flow/FEV1 Analyzer Software with USB Cable
For the price, this software is very, very basic. I like having it because I can easily see the trends of my PEF and FEV1. It has an option to overlay green, yellow and red zones over the data which I like. I've had my device for about a month now and plan to print reports to take to my doctor. If I had to write all that information down each time I used my meter, I would be much less likely to use it. The software makes it much easier to be compliant with my doctor's orders of getting (and recording) a reading every morning and evening.
In order for the software to work, you must install the driver for the meter. I accidentally skipped this step during installation so it took me a little while to get it up and running on my computer. Also, the meter has to be turned on in order for the computer to download the data. That is a minor detail, but I sometimes forget to do it....then wonder why the meter isn't synching. ;-)Get more detail about PF100 Peak Flow/FEV1 Analyzer Software with USB Cable.

Buy Polar WearLink+ Replacement Strap (X-Small-Small)
Bought this to replace the original strap that came with my Polar strap. As stated in other reviews, this new strap has changed from the older one that came with my watch. It no longer attaches directly to the transmitter on both sides. Instead it attaches at the end with a metal flat hook. The hook goes into a loop that is made of some sort of rubber material.
Others seem to have had problems with this system and the loop tearing. I can see how that can happen. However, it has worked fine for me so far. I do agree that the older system was probably better for longevity. The newer style does seem less stiff & more flexible.
I'm 6'2", 275lbs, and this strap is at its maximum length & fits me. But if you are any larger, you may have to go with the XXXL size strap.
Overall, I'm satisfied. Am happy with the Polar watch monitor system. Works as advertised.Get more detail about Polar WearLink+ Replacement Strap (X-Small-Small).

Omron HEM 629 Auto Inflate Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor Review
I've had my 629 for three years. I've had it in my doctors office to compare against their equipment, at hospital, and at home with Home Health to compare to. My 629 is always within a point or so of the "professional" equipment it tested against. I trust it very much. In fact, I have caught the pro's with bad readings with my 629.
The 629 is durable and simple to use. I think the people that complain about bad readings are not using it correctly. Reading the directions always helps, and paying attention to how it is mounted on the wrist also. Sure can't go wrong on the price.....Get more detail about Omron HEM 629 Auto Inflate Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor.

Samsung Healthy Living TET-01BN Digital Ear Thermometer Buy Now
This is a worthless piece of trash. The battery is constantly running dead and needing to be replaced. The batteries are not cheap. Additionally the reading is not accurate. I have tried temperature readings for myself, my husband, and my two year old son and they are constantly off 3 to 5 degrees with an oral thermometer. When I contacted the company they told me I was just holding the thermometer in the wrong position. This is made in China and is truthfully worth $2 or less. Do not buy this. The Company doesn't stand behing their product and instead wants the consumer to pay for shipping and handling just so they can send you another worthless item. Don't waste your money...Get more detail about Samsung Healthy Living TET-01BN Digital Ear Thermometer.

Discount ADC PROSPHYG Proscope Aneroid Sphygmomanometer, Adult
I bought this ADC model and a friend of mine bought the prestige model. The prestige has a nicer cuff (satin material), but the hose connection to the pump on the prestige comes loose easily. However, the satin cuff does make for more comfort and is more flexible, allowing one to fold the cuff to see the gage better; where as the ADC model's cuff is very stiff and hard to bend.

Lowest Price Omron HBF-510W Full Body Composition Monitor with Scale
Ordered and received from the Amazon Vine program almost two months ago, my wife and I decided that "today was the day" to try this Omron HBF-510W Full Body Composition Monitor with Scale.
Frankly, we're a bit older and, having read the instruction manual when we first received the unit, we initially found it to be intimidating and so we set the scale aside. But now, having slowly and carefully read the instruction manual again, this time with "hands-on" the monitor, I can say that it is actually quite easy to set up and use.
There is little I can add to other reviews concerning that set-up and use. Suffice it to say that, once you have done it and have become familiar with it, any future use will be easy. There are relatively few "bells and whistles" and for people who like "basic" (such as ourselves), this product fills the bill.
Reading that manual slowly and carefully really pays off. Anything and everything you need to know about this scale is contained therein.
I find that the scale portion is very accurate. We have a rather ancient Health-o-Meter "Professional" mechanical scale which has given us good service for many years. It always reads three or four pounds lower than the scale at our physician's office. It also reads three or four pounds lower than this Omron unit which tells me that the Omron's weight reading is quite accurate.
Accuracy and consistency are the two most important attributes of a scale, in my opinion. I will not be able to ascertain the consistency until I have been using the scale for some time but its initial and accurate weight readings augur well.
Some others have commented upon the lack of a memory for the readings. Frankly, I do not miss such a feature. Again, in my opinion, it would be of little value. It is easy to write down the readings and, if you wish to compare them after, say, two or three months (after all, how much are they going to change in one or two days?), you can just pull out your paper log. I'm sure addition of a memory would increase the cost and would do so unnecessarily. (There is, of course, a more-expensive model which does feature a memory.)
The only additional feature I would like to have seen would have been an internal clock and, in the User Setup, instead of entering your age (which has to be changed every year), you could enter your birth date which, along with your other data, would be retained. (All personal data is retained even if the batteries are removed.) This is a minor request yet one I hope Omron will consider. I think that the addition of this feature would not add greatly to the cost.
I have purchased other Omron products in the past. The first such product was a little yellow Omron calculator which I bought for my father over thirty years ago and I have bought other Omron products since. (If I am looking for a particular product and Omron makes a model, I will generally favor them over their competitors.) So you can see that I have known this company for some time. EVERY Omron product I have ever purchased has been fully satisfactory and, having carefully physically examined this particular monitor/scale, I expect that it too will be fully satisfactory, will last a long time, and will give good service.
To anyone looking to buy an inexpensive (and basic) Body Composition Monitor and Scale, I give this unit my highest recommendation.Get more detail about Omron HBF-510W Full Body Composition Monitor with Scale.

Omron Elite 7300W Womens Avanced Blood Pressure Monitor Get it now!
I was recently diagnosed with high blood pressure. After doing research on blood pressure monitors, I chose the Omron Elite. I couldn't be happier with my purchase! It is very simple to use and more importantly, you don't have to have a medical degree to read the results. Not sure why it is called a "womens" monitor...my husband has no problems using it and the arm band fits him just fine. Great monitor, you won't be disappointed.Get more detail about Omron Elite 7300W Womens Avanced Blood Pressure Monitor.

Weight Watcher Scale by Conair WW39 Digital Glass Scale Right now
This product worked ok (minor hiccups) for over a year, then suddenly stopped. I tested the batteries and they were fine. I changed to new batteries anyway and sure enough the scale worked for a few months, then stopped again. I swapped back to the old (still good) batteries, scale works for a few weeks. It is now completely dead. I called Conair and they offered to send me a new scale if I sent back the old one (at my expense) and included a $5 check to cover the cost of them shipping the new one. So, good money after bad? of course if the NEW scale does not work, I can waste another $15 or so to get still another. What a deal-----for Conair. Do NOT purchase this scaleGet more detail about Weight Watcher Scale by Conair WW39 Digital Glass Scale.
