I've always wanted a good digital scale to see the weight changes, and this is pretty great.  This is a scale with a bonus, actually, and I mean that aside from the set of 4 AAA batteries included that power this.. You get a small booklet that explains how you can use their free Body Fat Caliper to actually check that too.  The scale works right after you put the batteries in, as soon as it actually detects some weight sitting on it. There is a simple button on the back that lets you switch between units of measure, which is extremely useful if you want to check that without needing an online converter or trying to do that in your head. The screen is LCD and is easily seen even in the dark. I think the thing I like most about this is that is is made with tempered glass that is actually quite thick (8 mm), and this glass is non-slip. As a pretty clumsy person, I really am fond of that. It makes is easy to use and safe for me, which is great. It is very precise, also,...

Who doesn't love an elegant glass to have a cold or hot drink with? I have to say, these are some of my favorite glasses. This is a set of 2 (you can also get a set of 4) glasses that can hold hot or cold drinks without burning your hands or getting them completely wet with condensation. They are made of borosilicate, which is supposed to last, and each holds 12 oz. That, in my opinion, is enough of a quantity so you can easily get a refill or change your drink of choice before you get bored of it (I usually like to switch up from tea to water, back to tea during the day). The description says it is condensation free with cold drinks, but in my experience, it did condense, although not too much. It definitely did not leave a puddle on my desk, unlike some of my other glasses and cups. These glasses work fine in the microwave, so it was easy for me to make a glass of hot tea boiling the water in the microwave first with it and then steep the tea, which is pretty neat. I really...

This is a pretty nice iPhone case. No complaints so far! I have to admit that I got this for my husband, he has an iPhone 6s Plus and really needed a new case for his phone, the old one took a lot of beatings and this was an interesting alternative. Neither of us has had a ring case before, so we didn't exactly know what to expect from it. The ring is a nice addition, it allows the phone to be rotated to a comfortable angle, which comes in handy with the Plus phones. The case is made of two layers, the inner layer is silicone, and the outward one is premium carbon, which should make it last a long time. It absorbs the shock from dropping it and holds the phone in properly. The best thing, so far, is that the slits are made with rounded edges, so it is extremely comfortable to hold in the palm of your hand. I definitely like that the case is pretty thick, so the camera does get extra protection. The buttons get some insert too, so it will be easier to get to the buttons, much ...

This is a great backpack, pretty strong and large. I got this backpack for my husband, and I was impressed with how well it is built. It is 26.8 inches in height, and it has a lot of compartments - the main one, one patch pocket, two front zipper pockets and two side pockets. It is dark blue with gray, which actually does go with a lot of clothing items. This is made of nylon, but we have no allergies connected with this material, so we have no issues with it. That also ensures some durability in different conditions. Since I got this for camping needs, this is pretty perfect. The padded straps are pretty comfortable, especially considering the size of this backpack. The clips on the zippers are pretty strong, so I expect this actually lasts a long time. All in all, we've had no issues with this, it is comfortable, large size, and comes at a great price.

This pair of headphones is everything you could wish for, and it comes at a great price right now. Right out of the box, I could tell they would be comfortable. They have cushioning all over the parts that come in contact with your head (top and ears), and that comes in handy if you have problems with most headphones, like me. The instructions are really clear, also. But it's pretty basic to use, even without a booklet. The cable for recharging it only needs to be plugged in, and when it's done charging, it is good to go. You can pair it with your phone, or computer (if you have Bluetooth, if not, it's pretty cheap to buy an adapter), or use the audio cable, which is a 3.5 mm. I tried these headphones both ways, and I did not notice any difference in the sound. I've been using these to watch things on my computer and listen to music while my husband does his guitar practice. The sound is clear, and the noise cancelling function, while it's not actually cancell...

I love this solar light! It has been incredibly easy to use and very helpful. Where I live, the power goes out sporadically, for short periods of time, so having a solar back-up is a great thing and pretty much a necessity. So, I was more than happy to receive this and check it out. This comes with an installation kit, so that you can mount it on the wall outside. It is waterproof, so it can withstand rain, and has a motion sensor. The battery inside it (which recharges by solar power) is 2600 mAh. That is not much different that your regular external phone battery (the small ones), and I can't say this weighs more than one of those. The best thing about it - you can leave it charging in the sun and actually use this in the house, whether as an emergency light, or left somewhere where you need something with a motion sensor so you can go around the house at night without bumping into walls. Since I am prone to "unexplained" night bruises from that, I am using this i...

This headlamp is pretty good. I got it for my husband, he uses a lot of them for work and at home, when he needs to find something or to see something more clearly. I think the light is bright enough to even manage to read books at night, or when you want a flashlight and can't find one also. It can help if the power is down and you can't get to some other source of light faster. It has four modes, one is for really bright light, the second is a dimmer light. The third click brings up red light, I am assuming the fourth is for emergency, because it is flashing red and white light. That can be extremely helpful if you are in a situation when you actually need that. The package comes with 3 triple A batteries, which you can remove from the plastic wrap and use, or set aside and use your own. I have tried this lamp with my set of rechargeable batteries, that are Energizer, and the two sets worked fine. The light is bright enough to use in any situation, and pretty stable. ...

I am really starting to like this smart watch! It's pretty cool. I got the blue version for this, I think blue and black fits more of my clothes and just looks better, in general. I charged it once since I received it and have been using it as a watch, and synced to the app on my iPhone to check my activities. It has been accurate in measuring my steps, so far. I am not much of a runner or swimmer, so that I have not actually checked.  The app allows you to set an actual goal and work towards it, and the watch will measure whatever activity you pick. It also has alarms to set, but I just use my phone for it.  What I particularly like is that it actually tells you how many calories you burned, and that is great.  This is supposed to be waterproof, I guess for the swimmers out there, but I have not put that to the test since I can't swim.    It is extremely easy to charge, it has a black part that you just add to it and plug in a USB port. It ch...

This is a great USB charger for the car.  I have tried a few chargers and this is definitely among my favorites. The cable is flat, which is harder to break (at least for me), and it charged my iPhone really quick. It goes to the side, so you can also plug in another USB cable and charge another phone or anything else that works with a USB.  So far, I have not had any issues with this, and I like the speed with which it charges. It also has a blue light, so you can tell when it's plugged in and working. It has a decent length, also, which is another plus. The price is also a good thing, I paid a lot more for chargers who did not do such a great job and ended up giving me the "this accessory is not supported" error soon enough after I started using them. I've used this for about a month and there have been no problems, with my iPhone or with anything I charged with it. You can find this product here:  Askborg USB Car Charger I received th...
