Royal Talking Tel-Weight Scale - English/Spanish Right now

2015-06-18T05:30:00.001-07:00

I purchased these scales for my mom who is blind and has congestive heart failure requiring her to monitor her weight daily. She is also very feeble and weak. These scales have been great. She has had no trouble using them and they have worked wonderfully. She has a visiting nurse in her home twice weekly who weighs her, too, and the scales have been accurate. The voice is easy to understand, too. I would recommend this purchase to anyone needing talking scales. The price was a good value, too.

Lowest Price Gaiam Pedometer Plus Audio CD (Advanced Level)

2015-06-17T05:30:00.001-07:00

well, it was easy to set-up but the step count was NOT accurate even after adjusting the +/- several times and after making sure my stride calculations were correct.

I decided to take a long walk and see if it made a difference. I clipped it to my jeans, drove to the park, walked a couple of miles, and then realized it had "disappeared". The pedometer must have fallen when I got out of the car (I had made the decision to check at the end of the walk so I had no idea what had happened!). I found it crushed next to my car because the car next to me drove over it.

I would spend extra $$ on a different brand AND I would consider getting a safety strap.Get more detail about Gaiam Pedometer Plus Audio CD (Advanced Level).

Low Price Vicks One-Second Ear Thermometer

2015-06-15T05:30:00.001-07:00

Typing in all caps, with hundreds of exclamation points would not convene my dislike for this product. My daughter clearly has a fever, she is burning up when I took her temperature it was 93.4... huh? she is borderline hypothermic? I don't think so. This thing is a piece of junk. I took my temperature multiple times and never got the same reading twice. Get more detail about Vicks One-Second Ear Thermometer.

Save Weight Watchers WW70W Electronic Body Fat Scale

2015-06-14T05:30:00.001-07:00

If you are looking for a scale that is accurate, and has some additional functions, this is a great choice. Some of the additions are a little off because water weight and BMI cannot be exact on an at-home scale. As a 33 year old male at 240 lbs., it cannot take into account my build (a former football player), so the BMI read-out was 'extremely obease'. But for the main purpose of weight, I am very happy with this product.Get more detail about Weight Watchers WW70W Electronic Body Fat Scale.

Discount Taylor 5571 Breast Cancer Awareness Body Fat Scale

2015-06-11T05:30:00.001-07:00

At first glance this scale looks fairly sophisticated. Looks can be deceiving. I'm fairly certain that the body fat sensor don't do anything at all. Why does a body fat measuring device need to know if you are an athlete or what your height is? If is truly measuring resistance through your body this info should be irrelevant! What it is actually doing is calculating your BMI. That is completely useless if you want to know your bodyfat percentage! Don't believe me? Change your height! Your body fat will go down if you say you are taller and will go up if you say you are shorter! In exact accordance with a BMI chart! Utterly useless!!!

I rated this a two because the scale works very well. People having trouble with the scale must be using their unit on carpet! That or their's is defective.Get more detail about Taylor 5571 Breast Cancer Awareness Body Fat Scale.

Low Price Sportline Walking Advantage 348 Red Light Pedometer

2015-05-25T05:30:00.001-07:00

I bought a Sportline flashing light with armband and after two returns still cannot use the product. You must remove a tiny screw to remove a tab to make the battery work. I tried two different lights with the tiniest screwdriver on the planet and still couldn't get the back off. It's very frustrating to spend money and return shipping on a product that is impossible to use. I am very unhappy with this company...at least send me a new one without the tab thing so I can use it for one battery life.Get more detail about Sportline Walking Advantage 348 Red Light Pedometer.

Cheapest Seca Sensa 804 Digital Personal Scale with Body Fat and Body Water Analysis

2015-05-20T05:30:00.001-07:00

In general a great product. It's not an Olympic quality fitness profile and the chassis could be sturdier but the measurement consistency is great. We tested it first with a full and then empty bladder and the hydration measurement immediately registered an accurate difference. Exactly the item we were looking for for the price.Get more detail about Seca Sensa 804 Digital Personal Scale with Body Fat and Body Water Analysis.

Buying OneTouch UltraMini Glucose Monitoring System (USA Retail) Lime Light

2015-05-17T05:30:00.001-07:00

I went back to OneTouch after trying cheaper meters. I'm on oral medications and diet control, and I want to stay that way. I also have no health insurance and am private pay. I find OneTouch gives me accurate results, and the meter also survives banging around in my purse all day. The little meter really fits in your purse or backpack better if you design your own case out of something else, even a ziplock bag and duct tape (check the diabetes forums).

In response to the low review, it's true the strips are very expensive. For the bottle of 100 the best price I found was $79.00. You can find strips that expire in 6 months instead of a year on the Web for that price. I also found Together Rx Access on the web, which is a card the drug companies put out for people do not have insurance or state aid, which gives you a discount. Doctors sometimes have samples if you tell them you have problems with the cost of the strips.

What works best for me is to decide with my doctor how often to do a pre and post meal test (once a week), and then test right away if I have symptoms or get sick. Once you're under control and if you are willing to stay on a diabetic diet, that works. The way it worked out for me, I got the meter for free during a pharmacy special, then paying the price and rationing the more expensive strips is less expensive than one ER visit after my cheap meter gives me a series of inaccurate results, or worse, living with permanent eye or kidney damage when the cheap meter fails to tell me my sugar is running just high enough to do harm.Get more detail about OneTouch UltraMini Glucose Monitoring System (USA Retail) Lime Light.

Omron HEM-609 Portable Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor with IntelliSense Review

2015-05-04T05:30:00.001-07:00

We use these products in a prison system. Larger cuffs do not fit through the bars, nor do many of the inmate's arms. These units are very handy to obtain relaible vital signs (I spent alot of time comparing the reading to routine BP cuffs. They were very compatible in the range as long as you followed instructions) It also beats holding out someone's arm and have an inmate try to get it close to your breast as you try to help him hold a stable position. That doesn't happen with these cuffs. I expect to see more of these in the future..they are less painfull and much easier to haul around with you. Try one and see what you thnk.Get more detail about Omron HEM-609 Portable Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor with IntelliSense.

Professional Digital Alcohol Breathalyzer, Breath Tester, Portable Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) Detector with Muticolor LCD Display, Clock, Thermometer & 99 Reading Memories, for All Safety Drivers, Avoid Tickets & Save Money, DOT / NHTSA / FDA Approved Top Quality

2015-05-03T05:30:00.001-07:00

This product requires almost 2 minutes to calibrate. In addition we believe it "errors" on the high side. While this may be the better direction to error it really does not give you much confidence in the device. We have experimented with it a number of times with respect to our weight, the length of time between drinks, meals, etc. and each time we felt the readings were far too high based on the BAC tables. Frankly with the readings from this device we would never be able to have a drink with meals when we are not at home and/or planning to drive ! It is possible that we are not following the protocol for testing close enough in which case that is too demanding to make it worth your while. Checking your state BAC charts and tracking your drinks against your weight/meal and time factors would be easier and better so long as you error on the safe side of the charts.Get more detail about Professional Digital Alcohol Breathalyzer, Breath Tester, Portable Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) Detector with Muticolor LCD Display, Clock, Thermometer & 99 Reading Memories, for All Safety Drivers, Avoid Tickets & Save Money, DOT / NHTSA / FDA Approved.

Timex Healthcare Illuminator 1-Second Ear Thermometer This instant

2015-04-30T05:30:00.001-07:00

I have to agree with the previous two reviewers. I recently purchased this thermometer and was shocked to find how unreliable it was. I wouldn't be surprised if the multiple measurements were a little off, but the range of different readings were off by as much as 3 degrees (and we did follow the instructions, including pulling on the earlobe in the appropriate direction to straighten the ear canal).

We called customer service and they said that they would send us a new one. After reading the other two reviews here, I suspect that it'll find itself in the trash. Don't buy this product.

Proview Eye Pressure Monitor Kit - 1 kit Get it now!

2015-04-26T05:30:00.001-07:00

In my experience, the Proview Eye Pressure Monitor (home tonometer) is not accurate. For me, it fails to corrrelate with professional tonometer measurements at all. This statement is based on my personal experience with the Proview. However, my experience is substantiated by the research. For example, see the article from the journal Ophthalmology titled "The Proview Phosphene Tonometer Fails to Measure Ocular Pressure Accurately in Clinical Practice."

The article concludes, "The Proview instrument and technique were reproducible. However, the Proview tonometer seems not to be reliable as an indicator of IOP. The sensitivity for detecting high IOP was low in this cohort, and the agreement with Goldmann applanation was poor for some individuals. This brings into question the underlying assumption that a force proportional to the IOP generates phosphenes"

"The sensitivity of the Proview technique to detect patients with high IOP (which we defined as a Goldmann pressure of >= 22 mmHg) is low; the Proview pressure identified only 18% (4/22) of these patients."

Ophthalmology 2004;111:1077-1085 © 2004 by the American Academy of Ophthalmology

The real problem is that the Proview can indicate your eye pressure is normal when in fact it could be severely elevated. The Proview can report readings of 15-18mmHg (normal) even when the actual IOP is as high as 30 or 35mmHg. The cutoff for normal is usually considered about 21mmHg -- and eye pressure of 30 or more is considered potentially dangerous, so relying on the Proview could indeed represent a potential danger to glaucoma patients.
