Accurate and Easy Omron HJ-112 Digital Pocket Pedometer Love this Omron pedometer! Has 7 days of memory to keep me motivated. I just clip it on my belt every morning and start walking! Easy to program and use.

It last long (very long) and takes lots of pics. POSTED AT THURSDAY, MARCH 11, 2010 442 COMMENTS New replacement heads make noise! Philips Sonicare Elite (E-Series) Replacement Brush Head, Standard (2-Pack) I've been using the Sonicare for many, many years, probably 15 years, when they first came out. I have the Advance handle and Philips no longer makes replacement heads for the Advance handles but instead has a slightly different head called "e-series" that is supposed to fit the Advance handle. I ordered the three pack of the "e-series" and it does fit the original Advance handle but be advised that he makes a louder noise when in use. Apparently, the magnets on the "e-series' don't match what was originally designed for the Advance handles. I called Philips and demonstrated the noise difference over the phone to the technician and even she could tell the significant difference in noise. It's not unbareable by any stretch but is not as comfortable as using the old replacement heads. The technician did not know about the difference in noise, checked with others and then got back to me that, yes, there is a difference in noise. Philips should tell the user about this difference. It's no big deal, but should be disclosed.
What I found interesting also is that the new package says to replace the heads "every 3 months." The old packaging said "every 6 months." When I asked the technician about this and asked if this meant that the new heads were not made as well as the old heads and was this part of the American corporate conspiracy to have consumers buy more and spend more, she said they changed the recommendation on the advice of "dental professionals." Whether these "dental professionals" are part of the conspiracy, I do not know. Whether the new heads are not as well built as the old, I also don't know. But in any event, since I've been using the Sonicare for the past 15 years or so I've changed heads every six months or so and my teeth have not fallen out and I've had no complaints from my dentist. I guess I'll update this review four months from now and advise whether my teeth have fallen out and are full of cavities all because I didn't change the replacement head after three months. But to Philips credit, at least they didn't simply stop making a head to fit the Advance handle and thereby force the consumer to buy a new handle for the new heads. The "e-series" does fit, albeit not perfectly. Stay tuned. POSTED AT WEDNESDAY, MARCH 10, 2010 427 COMMENTS Keeps it humming Braun Clean & Renew Refills (3 Pack) Clean your razor once a week. I disagree with the idea the stuff evaporates if you don't use it daily - I put a new cartridge in about every three months. Each Sunday morning I open the razor, brush it with the included brush, put it on the cleaner/charger and enjoy the fresh smell Monday morning. If you brush the stubble out of the razor before cleaning, the fluid lasts a lot longer. Once a week has been fine for me for about seven years. My razor hums, does a good shaving job and I'm happy. I replace the cutting foil and head once a year. One day it'll be over and I'll have to bury it. But I think that's a long time from now.

Here I can get all the information
about the product and what others think about it. I like my EATSMART DIGITAL BATHROOM SCALE. I have no problem turning it on. Just a firm tap (not hard) and it comes right on. Eye pleasing with the glass top and large numbers. You don't have to hide it and take it out when needed. It's nice looking and will add to the beauty of your bathroom or bedroom.

Seventh Generation Baby Wipes Refills, Chlorine Free and Unscented, 70-Count Packs (Pack of 12) (840 Wipes) [ Frustration-Free Packaging] I've used these since my daugher was 1 mn old. They are terrific. In fact, as she got older I tried other brands and the chemicals in them made her blister. POSTED AT THURSDAY, MARCH 11, 2010 423 COMMENTS Best on the market for the money Eureka 313A Enviro Hard-Surface Floor Steamer When I started researching alternatives to my horrendous Shark, the criteria were as follows: Under $75, constant steam (versus pumping or triggers), higher steam temp (Shark only heated to 110 degrees), and not too heavy. The Eureka fit all of these and because I bought a refurbished model I spent less than $60. It arrived quickly and I promptly set it up and plugged it in. I'm 4 weeks from giving birth and I couldn't believe how easily and thoroughly cleaned my textured linoleum floor, and that is no easy feat - I have a toddler, a 100-lb dog, and a husband that's always working on his cars.

Seventh Generation Chlorine Free Baby Diapers, Stage 4 (22-37 Lbs.), Case of 120 Diapers [ Frustration-Free Packaging] I just received my order of these diapers in a size 3. My daughter is 20lbs and wears size 3 in Pampers cruisers, but I feel like these seventh generation ones barely fit. If your baby is 20+ pounds I'd go for the bigger size. Other than that, they seem nice. POSTED AT THURSDAY, MARCH 11, 2010 516 COMMENTS Mixes SO easily! Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey, Double Rich Chocolate, 5-Pound Tub I got a 2lb tub of this. It mixes extremely well and tastes like hot chocolate with just milk. The only downside to chocolate flavored things is limited mixing combos. I'm getting sick of just banana and peanut butter in my shakes. POSTED AT TUESDAY, MARCH 09, 2010 811 COMMENTS Excellent product Omron HEM-780/HEM-780N3 Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor with ComFit Cuff I am a school nurse and purchased the Omron automatic BP cuff for use in the clinic. It is simple enough that staff can take their own blood pressures when I am not there. I really like that it has an a/c adapter. It is very accurate. 1 - 118502 |
