Great product!
I've been using Breathe Right strips off and on for about a year and I love them. They really do help to open up your nostrils and allow you to breathe more freely. I had my nose broken as a child and have trouble breathing at night on occasion, but Breathe Right fixes the problem. | 45 stars

Very well made
Very easy to clean. Not a fan of the curve, but easy to insert and not intimidating at all! | 34 stars

FINALLY, a bar that is good for you AND tastes good!
I found Luna bars in my ongoing search for tasty, healthful snacks that would satisfy, have some whole grains (Luna Sunrise), a good balance of carbs and protein and also contain a decent amount of fiber. Kashi bars' odd texture and aftertaste (and a tendency to go stale quickly) had sorely disappointed me. SoyJoy left me hungry. Clif's ZBars were yummy but carb-heavy. Clif's regular bars were tasty but too dense and sugary. When I read the Luna label I was impressed. So far, so good! I *LOVE* Luna's flavors (Chocolate Peppermint, Lemon Zest, Smores) and can't wait to try more!! Luna's makers have discovered the perfect texture; chewy but not gooey with a bit of crisp and no grit. They are sweet enough to satisfy cravings but not overly so. For hours after I munch on a Luna bar, I am not plagued with hunger. My 15 y.o. daughter is now hooked too. Finally...a snack we can enjoy AND feel good about! Will continue to purchase. | 45 stars

Norelco 6867XL Quadra Action
Norelco has a winner here. This razor leaves a close shave. The razor is lite and comfortable in the hand. The motor is quiet. The stainless steel head makes cleaning an easy chore. Norelco quadra is a 5 star plus product. | 45 stars

milk thistle tea

great little repair kit
The sunglass repair kit actually works with prescription glasses too. My 7 year old's glasses needed a new silicone nose pad, but I didn't want to go to the optometrist to have it replaced because of the hassle it would be. This kit had the nose pads, plus bunches of screws and the tiny screwdrivers (both phillips head and flat head). I wish though that it came with a description of the different pieces in the kit. | 45 stars

Work as described and better
i have Edema in my leg due to blowing out my ankle when i was younger. First pairs i had gotten from a professional store, were more expensive than these and i dont think the proper ones as they looked more like womens nylons than socks for men. Also even tho they were the same size and compression perscription they never held my swelling down as much as these ones do. these fit great, keep my swelling down and another bonus, dont put pressure on my toes and toenails! | 45 stars

Use it every day.
I use this mirror for about two month now and very happy with the purchase. The light is strong enough for me to put make up while in total darkness without using any extra light in the room. 4 color light selections is a good option but I don't use it much. Overall, a good mirror for the price. | 45 stars

Awesome Stuff
Great protein powder -- on the healthy side, and it doesn't taste terrible. If you can mix it with something other than water (eg milk to get some extra protein) it actually tastes good. Hard to mix in, though, so I'd recommend using a blender or getting a "blender bottle" | 45 stars

Cannot Live Without
After using this product for the past three months, I have decided that I could not live without it. I have tile floors in my kitchen and hallway - and the grout had become so dirty and I never felt that mopping was doing much more than redistributing the dirt. It is a pleasure to clean the floor with this machine! I use HOT water which really helps to kill the germs and by taking the dirty water up off the floor after it is scrubbed, it truly gets the dirt up and off the floor. Thirty years of dirt embedded into the grout is coming out - and my once blackened grout is now white again.The other benefit of this is that the floor is dried almost instantly - which prevents my small children from slipping on a wet floor.If this machine ever broke - I would replace it immediately. I put it in the same indispensible categories as my dishwasher, vacuum, and washer/dryer.I recommend this machine - which is especially nice to be able to clean floors such as basement, garage, and other areas where a sink is not available to aid in mopping - besides, this gets it much cleaner. | 45 stars

Water-Pik Ultra
This product is fantastic. It really does a great job in cleaning your teeth and gums. It's quick and easy to use.I recently had a dental bridge put in and the Water-Pik does a great job in cleaning the entire area. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who is interested in purchasing a product like this. | 45 stars

Generally Good for the Price
After doing many side by side nutritional label comparisions, I found this to be the best value for a quality weight gainer online. The taste is relatively good too. The downside is that it does not mix as easily as CytoPro products or Muscle Milk. I find I get the best results by using a machine blender for this product. | 23 stars

Gu is great

Pretty Good But...
First, I bought two of these because I broke both elbows years ago and the pain in them has increased greatly as I have returned to a job that requires a lot of arm strength. Having been a former athlete, I knew that heat and pressure (partially immobilizing or shoring up the joint) would reduce the pain I experienced when increased strain was present.That being said, the sleeve fit good but the Velcro strap was too short to make it around my forearm, even though I bought the 2XL. Apparently, I must be related to Popeye. Seriously though, since the sleeves did what I wanted, I took a seam ripper and removed the strap and use the sleeves as is. I guess for size info, I'm 6'4" 360 lbs. and no, I didn't measure my arms.All-in-all it is a good product that I will use until I wear them out and probably buy another pair of them. I notice the pain reappears quite quickly when I forget to wear them, proving their worth when I do remember. | 34 stars

poor quality
I purchased 1 Philips Sonicare rechargeable power brush and 1 Oral-B professional rechargeable power brush about the same time. The Philips toothbrush broke in 2 months. The following are their comparisons.Philips pros: 2 min time stop; Cons: poor quality, traps all dirty in tooth brush, expensive replacement headsOral B pros: excellent quality, replacement head a lot cheaper, easy to clean, cons: 2 min vibrate not stopIn summary, it is worth to buy Oral B toothbrush, and saves money for long term usage with cheaper replacement head. I will never buy any Philips power brush. | 01 star

Delicious for morning meal!
I really like to eat breakfast on my way to work so I usually grab a protein bar and banana. It is hard to find a protein bar that is easy to eat in the morning because most of them contain chocolate and that's not what I like in the morning. The bars taste just like real peanut butter and has a peanut butter consistency as well. I would def recommend! | 45 stars

Clean and clear sunglasses everytime
Fits nicely in my sunglass case. No lint or streaks left behind. No need for a solution. Just a little water or your breath works perfectly. I use mystic maids cloths all around the house for everything from windows & mirrors to appliances and more. | 45 stars

A winner for us
I like this whey for several reasons; it doesn't contain artificial sweetners, it tastes good with no bad after taste, it stays with me and my husband will drink it willingly!!UPDATE: I discovered that the vanilla flavor (which I bought) does contain stevia, whereas, the unflavored does not contain any sweetner. Sorry for the misinformation. I am still using and loving this protein powder since the stevia does not upset our digestive systems where as the other artificial do. | 45 stars

Remington has really slipped...
Unfortunately, there are not many women's electric razors on the market. I replaced my second Remington with this model, after it died after a year of use. I bought this one just a few months ago, and it has just died. My first lasted several years. I guess I'll be going back to regular razors, because I am not going to pluck down $40 - $50 every few months to replace a razor. This shaver was by far the worst... after several uses, it became very noisy, and did not provide as close a shave as my Smooth & Silky Plus that died after a year of use. Emails to Remington have been ignored. Buyer beware! | 01 star

Very nice, could maybe use some lubrication though
The table works perfectly for my admittedly very high bed. The only complaint I can make is that it requires a decent push to get the table to go down. Maybe it will losen up over time though as I've only had it for a day. Overall, very pleased with it.I purchased it to use as a laptop table for bed so that I can have my mouse and laptop sitting up off of me. It works perfectly for that as it makes it a lot easier to play games in bed while my wife goes to sleep. | 34 stars

itchy stop
I love oral Ivy! I work in my parent's yard every year, and every year i find a new patch of poison ivy and poison oak. I start the Oral Ivy a week or so before I start and continue it through the time in the yard. I may end up with one or two spots, but they are gone in a few days and they do not spread. | 45 stars

Terrible
These tests did not work. I took all five tests in one day and four were negative while one was positive. It turns out the fifth, positive test was correct, but it was so faint I wasn't sure. At first I thought I was seeing things because I wanted to be so bad. I would never recommend this product to anyone. | 01 star

Tastes good, low calories
This protein tastes similar to MetRX's formula dissolved both in water and milk. It has 120 calories per 32gram serving (1 scoop), 10 of which are from fat, making it ideal for dieters. It also has 1 gram of fat per serving and negligible amounts of vitamins.Overall this is a solid why protein mix. | 45 stars

Look no more for a bath tub, this is the best!
I used this bathtub 5 years ago for my eldest kid after trying one another kind of tub. This bath tub offers maximum safety from falls/skids and takes out the fear from bathing a infant, specially if you are new to doing it. It is easy to clean but make sure you hang it up to drain the water within a couple of hours after using it. Leaving it in water several times for long periods will result in green mold. | 45 stars

Insulow
I am currently taking this product, along with Evening Primrose Oil to combat and/or correct the neuropathy caused by taking statin drugs and further damage due to diabetes, or too high blood glucose readings. These products are recommended by Dr Richard K Bernstein. Time will tell the effectiveness, I understand it will probably take at least 6 months. I would be interested to hear from other users, particularly if you have been successful. | 34 stars

Great
This is a review from the big guy camp. My wife got the lite version of this mask and on a few chances when I tried out that lite version I had found it comfortable, although it let in some light around the nose. I decided to get my own mask, and thought the "full" version might work better. I was delighted to find out how much better it really is.Fit: Most sleep masks don't even fit my head, so right out of the gate this mask is a big winner. I'm the sort of guy who cannot wear any "one size fits all" hat, and can't even find a fitting hat in most specialty stores, so I can assure you this mask does suit all adult sizes. The velcro is a bit bulky but not uncomfortable, I'd call it secure. The fit is also very secure, and the elastic is forgiving enough that I can dial in just the right amount of pressure depending on how I want to wear the mask.Blockage: Total, with a caveat. The mask does not come shaped and lays flat, which may improve with wear, but this means the velcro has to be set fairly tight to get total blockage. Set loosely, there's still less incoming light than with the majority of masks on the market, and all from the nose area which is the norm. The tight fit is not at all uncomfortable, but a quick steaming to add some shape might be a welcome improvement for a later revision. Anyway, once the mask is on securely, there is zero seepage for me. Perfect.Extras: When do you ever have the chance to list extras in a mask? The mask has a separate line or pillow that runs across your nose and cheeks, which both seals out light and creates a pocket so your eyes don't touch the mask. This feels great, and works well. This is essentially this manufacturer's answers to the often-heard cry in reviews of other masks of "if they'd just sew on a little material around the nose..." so if you've said that before then look here. The eyemask also has a little pocket on the front that comes with a free set of earplugs. I don't tend to use plugs, but it's nice that they're there and someday it's going to come in very handy to remember I have a set stashed away. The pocket is quite generous, so you could probably shove in a few extra sets if that's a concern for you. I can just imagine someday I'm going to be on a plane and think if only I was the sort of person who wore earplugs, and voila, the mask remembered them for me.Overall: One steam-shaping away from perfection. Comfortable, secure, and has a pocket for earplugs. Excellent. | 45 stars

Do NOT order this from Ace Hardware
This is a fine product---BUT---BUYER BEWARE!!!! If you think you are ordering ONE broom set from Ace Hardware, you will discover that you receive 4 and are charged accordingly---plus they will only allow you to keep ALL 4 or return ALL 4 AT YOUR COST. BAD business. | 01 star

Great Shaving Cream
This is the thickest shaving cream I have ever used, and it's very gentle on the skin. I've tried a dozen shaving creams, but use this one. It's expensive, and I'm not sure it helps me actually shave yet, but my skin is far less irritated after shaving than when I use other products. | 45 stars

Excellent heating pad for a good price
I bought two I was so in love. This heating pad is perfect. I enjoy the extra padding inside the case for extra comfort. It heats quick, the cord is pretty long and the size is perfect. I gave the other heating pad to my mom and she loves it too. :o) Highly recommended!! | 45 stars

Huh?... What!?... Wow!!!... Ridickulous!!! ... maybe. LOL!!
OMG! What!?! How can this fit... anywhere!?! I'm gonna be honest... I don't get out much... the 40 year old virgin is a pretty good tag for me... I admit that I haven't seen many of these live & in person, but this CAN'T be like the real thing. Or is it?... ???... ???... ???... NO! There's no way that this is the "normal" size of an average man. Artistically speaking... it's handsome... even sexy. The softness & flexiblity seem nice. The length is fathomable... 6 to 6.5 inches, but the girth!... about three fingers across the top and sides... that's like... 12 FINGERS! LOL! Really? I mean... how do dudes ride bikes!?! Seriously though, there should be a toy section for "beginners only". I think I'm gonna have to look for one of these that is more like 2 fingers across the top & sides... or 8 all around. The suction cup seems to work as I have stuck it to the door in my office. It's bouncy. I have to admit I'm curious to see if it would work with a lot of lubrication. I hope it won't ruin my cha-cha. Ouch! The back door is not an option! If I can't use it, I may put it on someone's car like another reviewer did.P.S.- To confirm... the average circumference of an erect adult penis is approx. 5in. This joint is approx. 6in. Good luck! :D | 23 stars

Battery operation
I bought this since it could be battery operated for traveling in Europe. It had a tendency to turn itself off, and I had the auto timer turned off. I took an entire package of 8 batteries for the week since I had read that it would burn through them. I replaced the first four batteries after five nights and the machine worked find the next three nights. However, it accomplished what I needed it to do except when it turned itself off. | 23 stars

Great body oil
First off, I haven't used this for pregnancy, but for preventing and treating stretch marks and keeping my skin hydrated and soft. I like to remove the label, (which is really easy to do) because I'm not pregnant. It has a very unobtrusive but pleasant smell. I use it after every shower and I love it. It's got all natural, safe ingredients. I only give it four stars because when it's cold it separates and you have to warm it up and shake it- but that's coconut oil for you! NOT MESSY- great product. | 34 stars

I think it worked!
The wife and I were trying for 6 months with no results... after taking 2 pills a day for a month and a half, we got a positive result. I can't say if it was the pill or not. I don't have the sperm count numbers to prove it. I drank a good amount of green tea as well. | 45 stars

Conair HGL1 Combination Hot Gel/Lather Machine, Black (Health and Beauty)
I really like this item. The only things that kept me from giving it 5 stars: 1.Shaving can does not lock completely 360 degrees, 0nly 180 degrees. 2. I have not been able to switch all the way to Gel without having the can disconnect; only half way for 2/3 gel, 1/3 lather. 3. The same thing happens when I use the "PUSH" button. 4. Lather will not get hot continuously when I push the black dispense button. I must wait a short time and push again. It helps a little if I turn on the machine before I get into the shower so that I can shave afterward.Other than these things, I can live with how it works for what my major need is. | 23 stars

Good gainer
I find this to be a great gainer. All though I've heard max muscle stopped carrying this brand because the labels vs the content were not factual.The taste is great, no farts or super bloated feeling. Although I only do 2 scoops a serving. A full serving is just to much at one time in my opinion. | 45 stars

Excellent White Noise, Better Than Total Silence, Not Completely Noise Cancelling
My roommate in the Cayman Islands had one of these and I found it to be helpful in attempting to fall asleep at night. It is much better than listening to silence in the daytime, so I have it on the lower setting in the daytime and the higher setting in the nighttime. While is emits an excellent white noise and aids a tad bit in cancelling noise, it DOES NOT completely cancel out all noise like earplugs. I was not expecting it to do so, and I didn't buy it for that purpose, (it is also not advertised to say it will cancel all noise), but buyers should be forewarned that if they want to completely cancel out all noise, this is not the machine for that. | 34 stars

Close & Comfy
I am relatively new to the art of wet shaving with a safety razor, but I'm proud to say I have become more adept at using one. The Parker 99R that I own came with some Shark Super Chrome blades which I did not care for very much. After researching different blades online(I'll include one of the links I found to be particularly helpful), the Wilkinson Sword blades became my weapon of choice! They are sharp yet extremely forgiving and the synthetic polymer coating definitely makes for a less irritating shave!I religiously try to shave every morning so I've never had a beard or any heavy facial hair growth. However my hair seems to grow back quickly so that 5 o' clock shadow always bothered me. The Wilkinson Sword blades gave me a superb shave that reduced what stubble I had into smooth skin. I've also found I can get a close shave with fewer passes and in a shorter amount of time than the Shark Super Chrome blades I had originally used. I have had no nicks or cuts either, which surprised me given how aggressive the blade can be with hair.I know there are many other types of razor brands out there(I recommend buying a sample pack), but Wilkinson Sword seems to be the perfect match for my needs. If you're lucky enough to have the same experience as I did with these babies then I hope this review helped! Here's that link I promised to those of you who are still unsure:[...] | 45 stars

Soft, strong, and green!
As a major, daily, year-round sufferer of absolutely soul-sucking allergies (positive for 36 of 40 tested allergens, so there is no season -- nay, month -- in which I'm not toting boxes of tissues Linus-style), I've tried every tissue there is and have gone through unfathomable quantities in my 30 years. I've used only these for the past several years, since I discovered them at my local health food store, and now purchase them by the case. They're not quite as soft as the super-soft virgin-fiber tissues (Kleenex, Puffs, etc.), but they're pretty close, and much, MUCH softer than any other recycled tissue I've tried. They also hold up really well, and the recycled content is excellent. These are the only recycled tissues that are soft enough and strong enough for me, and I've actually converted a couple of not-particularly-eco-conscious former tissue-prisses to these from the super-soft, lotiony Puffs and Kleenex, which tells you how good they are. Head and shoulders above the rest of the pack, and a lifesaver for those of us in the unenviable position of going through loads of tissues, so really needing softness, but also being concerned with smart use of resources. | 45 stars

Fresh scent for home made laundry soap

Pearlessence Ceramic reed Diffuser Cherry Blossom

Really helpful!
I really like this product. My husband is a *really* light sleeper. We use this in our bedroom and he has to wears ear plugs. It's helped him sleep better and longer. We got one for our baby's room and it seems to help him as well. When he gets into his light sleeping phase, it keeps him from waking at every sound. We used to use a fan and it would make the room cold, even with a blanket over it (fine in the summer--not so much in the winter). This is much better, though I do feel some cold air coming out of it. Not *nearly* as much as the fan, though.UPDATE: Just thought I'd update. It's been almost three years since we bought these. We're still using them daily (and there are many days where we forget to turn them off during the day). My son dumped some water on one of them a month or so ago and after my husband taking off the cover and drying out all of the components, it worked again, which I was glad of. Other than that, we haven't had any problems with them not working. Now we're having our second baby and we're buying a third for that baby's room. | 34 stars

Consistent use - dermatologist recommended
My son had two plantar warts on his foot. Went to the dermatologist. She froze one, but the other was not a candidate for freezing (since it was right where he puts pressure when he walks, she doesn't freeze those types to avoid the chance of a scar, and said it could feel like he was walking on a pebble for the rest of his life if it scarred). She sent us home with a Wart Stick. Name sounded hoakey, but we used it. She said it will work, but the problem people have is not using it each and every day. We made it a routine and didn't miss but maybe 1-2 nights over three months and they are gone now. It's painless and odorless, no mess, quick, no big deal. Set it by your bed and make it a routine. You'll be happy you did. It was an interesting progression watching those gross things die. It was about $7. Saves you the expense of a doctor's visit. | 45 stars

natural looking results
I've been using this product for 4 days and I can see a result already. Not the glow in the dark, frighteningly unnatural white that you often see on people who have had a dental bleaching--you know that silvery white look that doesn't occur in nature. I think the strips have whitened my teeth without making it obvious I've been whitening them. It's how my teeth looked ten years ago, before ten years of coffee and soda buildup. Although I've read reviews that state people have had pain in their gums and teeth, I've not had a bit of trouble with pain. The only real caution is--DON'T SNEEZE. Or if you have to sneeze, keep your mouth firmly closed. When I sneezed, the strips came flying out of my mouth. Also, you really can't talk very well while they're in your mouth, and you feel a bit like you're foaming at the mouth. However, there is very little after taste--and my teeth look cleaner without look other worldly. I would definately recommend. | 45 stars

Easy to Use, Good to Know
Most people know their zodiac symbol - but they don't know their blood type! Which information do you think is more helpful to your health? I found an at home Eldoncard blood type test which is inexpensive and works like a charm!It comes in a sealed foil pouch so that it stays clean. You also get four "stirrers", a little water-drop sucker (like a turkey baster), a little alcohol for cleaning, and a swab. You get a cheap finger poker, but I already had much better finger pokers from my various other test kits I've played with over the years, so I didn't use theirs.There are four spots pre-colored. One is for A. One for B, one for the Rh factor, and one is a control spot.What you are aiming to do is put one drop of blood into each circle. Sounds easy, right? However I am an AWFUL bleeder. When I make the finger pricks they dry up instantly. Even if I stick my fingers in hot water and do all the other tricks. This is a known problem with me (and apparently judging from my email of people who agree, a problem for many others as well). However this test wants you to do ALL FOUR spots at the same time! So you have to get four large drops of blood in a row! I absolutely think they should let you do them one at a time or at least offer that as an explained option for slow bleeders like me. It's certainly *possible* to do the tests one at a time. They just tell you that you need to do them all at once, which makes an already stressful test become nearly impossible.So there I was with my boyfriend. We added the starter drop of water to each spot. Then it was a round of sticking my fingers into a mug of hot water, poking them, squeezing for blood, having him help with the blood gathering, and it was not fun trying to race to do it all at the same time. But eventually we did get a drop of blood into each spot, and stirred each one. Then we tilted the card up, down, left, and right so that the blood filled each circle properly.Voila! (I have a photo of it on my Low Carb site if you want to read along).The first one has clumps. This means it is positive. So I have the A factor. The second one has NO clumps. It is negative, I have no B factor. That means my blood type is A.The third one has clumps. This is positive, and is the Rh factor. So this means the total blood type is A+. I'm happy, I like being A+ :)The fourth circle is just a control. This should never have clumps - if it did, the test has a problem with it.So besides the trauma of getting blood to come out of my fingers all at once (which took holes in six fingers plus one toe to get to work) the test itself was very easy to use and understand. There are clear diagrams to help you understand the clumping. The test itself is clear. And now I know my blood type, which is important for ALL sorts of reasons!Well recommended. I would just say if you're a low bleeder like many of us are, consider just doing one test at a time. That is start with ONE circle. Put the initial drop of water just in that one circle. Add blood to just that circle. Stir just that circle, tilt around the card. Let it fully dry. Then move on. I think life would be far saner doing it that way.I purchased this test kit with my own money from Amazon. | 45 stars

Dragon Lighter
Surprised that it shipped with fluid in the lighter. Flame is blow torch type and the light-up grip is really cool. I looked at a lot of different lighters with the dragon motiff and I was very satisfied with the styling of this one. Can't beat the price yet it doesn't look cheap. | 45 stars

Got my life back!
I bought this on impulse--after feeling lousy for several years, and noticing that winters were worse than summers. After years of treatment by a slew of doctors, I figured this might help a little bit and at least it wasn't more pills to take. Within a couple of days I was waking up, with energy, in the morning with my family, not two or three hours later--which always happened once the winter months set in. Once I was up, I was able to get things done, not just crawl back in bed under the covers and watch TV and nap most of the day. No one could believe the change in me--so drastic and so quick!I grew up in sunny Southern California and my winter illnesses started shortly after we moved to Seattle. Since then we moved to the East Coast and it's been problematic here as well. I would have terrible months with no relief from migraines and "chronic fatigue" (what the doctors say when they can't figure out what is wrong). Lately I had noticed I would start feeling a little better in the spring and summer. Since I dealt with the SAD and did some other treatments for the migraines, this past summer I was able to put the GoLite away and had my best health in years! But as soon as the days got short, my energy fell rapidly and my family had to remind me to use the light box again. If I skip a few days because of early-morning events or a short trip, I notice it.I start with 30 minutes a day, but once I get going on a good schedule, I can often go down to 20 minutes until I slack off the schedule for a while, and then have to start back at 30 and work myself down. I put my GoLite on my computer desk and use it in the mornings when I check email and read articles online.I've tied a 20" piece of string on to the cord connector so I can easily pull the string towards my face to make sure I'm at the optimal distance from the box. | 45 stars

Don't let the reviews scare you...seriously
I am a 20 year old sexually active female who is familiar with yeast infections (due to my own choices/antibiotics from avid uti's) and monistat ha never disappointed me. The burning comes from your vagina/uterus already being irritated. If you read any yahoo answers they will tell you to be aware that heavy irritation will occur if you're already irritated. This is a HIGH concentration of medicine so of course it packs a heavy punch. If you don't want to experience the symptoms (WHICH THE PACKET SAYS IRRITATION MAY INTENSIFY) then use the three day or like someone before said use the smaller dosage. If you want fast relief and can handle the pain, suck it up and use this. It sucks, but in my opinion it's worth it. | 34 stars

Wonder Stuff!
We got this when we first had our congoleum floor put in the kitchen and dining room--the store gave it to us.When I ran out I was so sad...vinegar and water was good but no replacement for this.No buildup, nothing like the mop-n-glow junk. This just cleans and puts a finish on it that makes it look brand new (ours has a mat finish, not glossy).I was estatic to come across this on Amazon. It seems expensive but you only use a little each time and it is really worth it. | 45 stars

Very nice
We bought it with an idea for using it for a baby and toddler, however we find it is already a little small and our baby is only 6 months old. It is very affordable and easy to use (carry, pour the water in and out). We also wish it had more of the rubber/foam for extra support/friction - not only for the back of the baby but also under the bum and vice versa for the toddler. | 34 stars

Sports
I'm an avid tennis player and frequently need to tape up my fingers to prevent blisters or to protect them from getting worse. Most tape that you buy in sporting goods stores comes in 1 1/2" widths which is too wide and they charge up to $5.00 for one roll. This 1" tape is the perfect width and protects quite well and buying it by the box I pay about a third of the price per roll. I'm not sure about other brands but this J & J Zonas tape is the best for sports and my purposes. I highly recommend!!! | 45 stars

Confused on the input voltage
The product description says it can be used with 110-240 V input power supply. But what is written on the product which I received is 110V. I am confused whether this can be used with an input 220V/50Hz power supply. | 23 stars

Ineffective Product.
Let me preface this by saying I am a big Animal products fan so needless to say I was incredibly disappointed at the quality or lack thereof of this product. Let me also say that this was just my personal experience with this product and yours may differ.I have been utilizing this product for 2 weeks now (bear in mind it's only a 3 week cycle at 2 packages a day) and I have noticed absolutely ZERO benefits from taking it. There is no increased energy, no increased strength, and let me be on record as saying there isn't even a placebo affect from taking this supplement. The only thing it does do is give me severe heartburn.To the company's credit they do offer a money back guarantee but like anything in life I think it's wrong to consume 2/3's of a product and then demand a refund. I will take this as lesson learned and stick with the Animal products that I KNOW work (i.e. Animal Pack). | 01 star

Total bloody rubbish
Two problems with the Schick Quattro blade-1) It gives you so many nicks you'll have to put a gigantic bandage over the entire area you just shaved or around 10 little pieces of toilet paper - even if you just broke out a new cartridge2) The blades clog so completely with hair after the first stroke that you have to use your finger to wipe down with the blade direction (against it would cut your finger, obviously) to unclog it after every stroke or two, depending on how thick you areIf you dont want this problem, get a double-edged safety razor by Merkur. They are easy as pie to unclog and hardly make you bleed at all compared to multi-blade razors. | 01 star

Like a second skin
When considering what size to order, I decided to go up one size to allow for easy glove removal when wet. I based this decision on the fact that I almost always wear a medium in any type of glove, but I was taken by surprise as these went on skin tight. As can be expected, removal was a chore. Every single finger turned inside out as I struggled to get them off my medium sized hands, and this was when the gloves were still DRY and right out of the box. Doing so after washing the dishes is going to be a pain. | 23 stars

Awesome Products
I have Lemonade Ice Cream, Gummy Bear, and Banana Cheesecake. My little girl love's these as much as I do, the first one we choose to try was Gummy Bear and she said it is like I am eating them. To be honest it was like you were eating them. The smell isn't faint at all and the scents are true to their names. Also the other scents were great also. I really liked the Lemonade Ice Cream a lot. It has started to get cold were I live again so this was perfect to try out for the moisturizer part of the products. I was really happy with the softness of my lips after using the products plus it worked on my kids too. These would make a great basket stuffer for Easter or stocking stuffer and just to simply by for your little girl or yourself. You will love the texture of these products and how well they soften your lips. | 45 stars

OK Brush
This brush is not as soft as the brush I was previously using. It works well (it makes soap and gets the soap onto your face) and the stand that came with is a nice bonus (a molded piece of plastic that falls over in the breeze). Next time I will spend a few more dollars and get a seperate brush and stand. | 23 stars

They work great!
So glad to find a place to purchase these. Was given one a few years ago and have been looking for another but couldn't find one locally. I use it very often and has lasted well. Like that it has the four different coursnesses. Keeps my feet smoothed down instead of scratchy and cracking. | 45 stars

very nice heating pad
I have back problems and love a moist heating pad. This heating pad is very substantial and made well. It is convenient that it stays on for 20 minutes and automatically turns off after that time is up. The only drawback with this particular model is that I cannot set the temperature. The last TheraTherm I owned I could adjust the temperature. Other than that I love this heating pad. | 45 stars

"Attractive nails upon one's hands and feet are easy with the Electric Manicure Pedicure Kit"
Having attractive nails is important, both socially and professionally important because the attractiveness, or lack there-of, of one nails is tremendously indicative as to one's mental and emotional state-of-mind. For example, one who is usually nervous about something, whatever that something might be, typically bites one's nails and if one maintains the appearance of one's nails with an Electric Manicure Pedicure Kit, then the sight of "nervous nails" ought to not be an issue. | 45 stars

Not what I expected and not that great.
I guess I didn't notice when I actually purchased this that the last line of the product description says, "BAMBOO BACK SCRATCHER SIZE AND STYLES MAY VARY." Even if I did read this (which I may have and just glanced not considered because had kids talking to me while ordering) I wouldn't have expected what showed up. I bought 1 for me and 2 for a friend.The back scratcher is over 2 ft long and is really just enormous for a back scratcher. The wheels really aren't that functional and don't do much for you. You really can't get any leverage behind them to actually give a decent massage. The ones that showed up in my order had 3 wheels in a row in the actual handle, not at all what is pictured. I even passed over other back scratchers that were designed like the ones that showed up because I didn't like the design at all.The scratcher end of doesn't seem to work that great either. I'm not sure what exactly is off about it, but it just doesn't seem to scratch that great.Of course I think I'll probably give them to Goodwill or something because the shipping to get them back from Atlanta to Seattle will probably be as much as the scratchers themselves. I'm definitely not going to give the ones I got for my friend to her because there's no place that you could actually store this and have it be functional. It's so large, she'd have to keep it in the garage, not in the nightstand and under the coffee table as planned.I'd go with something that you KNOW what you're getting and doesn't have a disclaimer saying size and styles vary. | 01 star

Niacin is helpful in reducing cholesterol.
Niacin is quite effective in reducing bad cholesterol in your blood, especially in my case. I am sensitive to most statin drugs prescribed by doctors. The usual downside to it's regular use is flushing from dilating the blood vessels while it is being absorbed. Slo Niacin has an enteric coating that slows the absorbtion, so that the "flush" is not a problem. It is important to watch the date on the product, as the enteric material loses some of it's effect with time. Slo Niacin is also much less costly than statin drugs. | 45 stars

Johnson & Johnson Stim-U-Dent Plaque Removers

Bracelet Buddy
This item is indespensable for any lady who loves to wear bracelets. With this you can actually get your bracelets on WITHOUT ANYONE ELSE helping you. Even if you've become pretty good at getting your bracelets on by yourself anyway, this item allows you to do it really fast and easy. Older women will especially love it. My mom gave me mine and I liked it so much I bought 6 for my friends. :) | 45 stars

Good at what it does
ChocoLeans DO work to suppress actual hunger; however, they do nothing for that "I feel like eating" feeling. I use them to suppress the hunger, and then when I still feel like eating, I know it is not real hunger but my usual food fixations. It helps me psychologically anyway, to interpret my feeding feelings! Also, they work best if you do not eat one hour before and after taking. (Drinks don't count, that doesn't seem to affect anything.) I love the taste, and can't tell much difference between the sugar-free and regular ones...sugar-free are only about 6 calories less. It is a very dark chocolate, so if you don't like dark you probably won't care for. | 34 stars

Smells great, still have mice
This stuff smells great! My husband loves it. I sometimes even spray it on the rugs just to have the scent around. However, I bought it to deter mice. Well.....the very first couple of days I used it I sprayed it under the stove and soaked cotton balls to put under there too. I caught a mouse a day for about 5 days straight. The cotton balls were right next to the trap!! Granted, the mice may have already been in the house. However, they certainly didnt seem to care about coming near the peppermint! | 23 stars

I don't believe it!
I purchased a bottle of these vitamins from a health food store while on vacation, tossed them in my bathroom closet and didn't think about them twice. Yesterday, I just sort of noticed them and saw that they would be expiring May 2012. I logged on to Amazon to check out the reviews and decided to give them a try. I took three at one time hoping for some results in a couple of weeks: (I'm 40 years, female, have been feeling a bit sluggish lately and I've just started working out within the past two weeks) I couldn't believe that I woke up today on my own, feeling well rested. The phrase miracle in a bottle doesn't scratch the surface on how I'm feeling today. I will continue to take them and update my review. I can't remember the last time I woke feeling this great in a long time and that's why I am sharing my review so early. | 45 stars

Worth What I Paid
After losing a hearing aid, I bought this device to help tide me over until I am ready to spend big bucks for a replacement. I tried it in a small-group meeting of ten people, and I could hear everyone fine. I've been using it in watching t.v.--so as not to blow my wife away with decibels--and I am satisfied with its performance in that regard. I avoided the earpiece pictured with this unit here, since it looks clumsy, and got one with a simple earbud and a headset. Haven't tried the headset, but the earbud is comfortable and works fine. I'd bet that a lot of competing products are simply junk, but I find this one to represent value representative of the cost. At least it's worth the money for me, even though there is no substitute for a good hearing aid except another good hearing aid. | 34 stars

A miracle of science
So Arthur C Clark said that "Any suitably advanced technology would appear as magic to a less advanced civilization" I think these are in the class. I have been looking for ways to clean scuff marks off my wall for months and clean some persistent grease form my range. With these and a little water, I was able to do in minutes what I have spent hours doing every other way I could find, without any success.If you have someplace that can't take aBrillo Steel Wool Soap Pads Jumbo, Red, 30 Countpad, but something is not coming off, these are a great way to handle it. | 45 stars
