Customer Reviews

I received this Bowflex SelectTech Adjustable Bench Series 5.1 as a birthday gift. Great bench! Quality of this bench is very good and sturdy. The leg attachment is a great feature for decline position, I was doing decline dumbell bench presses on another bench without the attachment and had to set weights on the floor to get back up with this I just pull myself up with my legs, Great. I read in one reveiw that the bench was not stable, I disagree it is very stable and strong. When I first assembled it (on carpet) and then moved it into positon (ceramic tile)it was uneven, just loosen the bolts on the back legs and retighten, perfect! The directions were easy to follow and went together very easily. When doing workout I put my feet on the feet of the bench and it adds to the stablity of the workout. It is also a Great Looking Bench on top of everything else. I have lifted weights for many, many years and as far as benches go this is very comfortable. Great Job Bowflex!

We purchased the Bowflex 552 dumbbells and knew that a bench would be a great purchase as well. So glad we got it! Some other reviews mentioned that the gap between the seat and the back is big, which it is. But that makes it possible to get to the 90 degree position. Without the gap, it would be a struggle to get it to 90. The gap itself doesn’t bother me but when I feel it, I just reposition myself. I am 4′11 so the bench in the flat position is a little long for me but it’s a great length for my husband. We use it when we strength/weight train and it really is a great tool and really needed if you want to incorporate more positions in your workouts. More positions/variations leads to better results and I am really pleased with my purchases. One complaint though, I thought it would fold up and be easy to store away, but that’s not the case. The wheels make it easy to get it to where you want it but it isn’t made to hide under your bed or anything like that. It’s pretty much, what you see is what you get. So if you don’t mind it sticking out versus being inconspicuous, then this is the bench for you. Living in a condo, we don’t have much space, so I was really bummed when I couldn’t fold it up and “hide” it. But nonetheless, I’m still happy with it and wouldn’t trade it for another.

Factory-Reconditioned Dyson 12446-02 DC21 Canister Vacuum Reivew

Factory-Reconditioned Dyson 12446-02 DC21 Canister  Vacuum

Customer Reviews

Most of our carpeted space is either on stairs or under beds, so the canister vac was the better option. I was surprised at how few canisters I could find in the stores. I didn’t want to spend $500 (or more) for a vacuum but I also didn’t want to spend $150 for a vacuum that didn’t work. The factory reconditioned was a great chocie. Factory-Reconditioned Dyson 12446-02 DC21 looks brand new, it has a six month warranty, and the Dyson really does the job. A rug that we had regularly vacuumed with an old vac, quickly filled with dust. With no tax and free shipping, we probably paid half of what a new one would have cost in the stores.

I just gave a refurbished Factory-Reconditioned Dyson 12446-02 DC21 for my mom for Christmas and it is fantastic! She and my step-dad live in a tiny and DUSTY farm house with 4 dogs (Yes, they are the crazy dog people.) and they have gone through so many vacuums over the years that they had pretty much given up on ever finding one that worked for them. The canister design is prefect for them because they can get under the couches and cabinets to pick up all the dust and dog hair…you wouldn’t believe how much we got on the first trip around the house! It picks up all the dog hair off the carpets and cleans the rugs in the mud room (entry way)…the ones my mom used to have to take outside and beat with a broom and they would still never look as clean as they do now!
Yes, the vacuum is a little heavy and maybe even a bit awkward, but it does the job better than anything else we have ever owned and it is well worth the effort. My mom says she will think of it as her workout machine as well as her cleaning machine. I would definitely recommend the refurbished Dyson to anyone that wants one but is nervous about taking the $400 leap. It works just like new and comes with a 6 month limited warranty from Dyson.

Giddyup N’ Go Pony Review

Giddyup N' Go Pony

Giddyup N’ Go Pony


Giddyup N’ Go Pony, This ride-on pony is a toddler’s perfect first horseback ride. As kids bounce up and down, the wheeled pony’s legs start rolling, so kids can really go for a ride! Horse also comes with safety brakes, which are activated when the seat is held down continuously. Riders can simply press down on the left ear to hear life-like galloping sounds; or press on the right ear for whinnying and snorting sounds. The pony’s tail even swings side to side as your child rides along. Handlebars located on the pony’s head make steering easy, and a tight four-foot steering radius provides a controlled ride. Pony is perfect for active play both indoors and out. Requires three “AA” batteries, included. 32″L x 13″W x 32″H. Holds up to 150 lbs.

Customer Reviews

My 6 yr old got this for his birthday, and this Giddyup N 'Go Pony was flying around the house every since. We also Smores, that if fun, but not half as fun and exciting as this pony. The horse moves into reality! You ride it! Much better than just sitting on a horse that makes noise and moves his head alone. My 8 and 10 years old are within the weight limits, so that laughs as well. This thing moves fast on tile, and we had no problems with tipping. It 'difficult to completely turn around if you get in a corner - an adult or an older child is required to collect at the bottom and turn around. We love it, and it was worth every penny (no where near the price no Amazon here recently, yikes - you can get close to $ 100).

My 5 year old daughter has cerebral palsy, and her therapists who want to straddle sit for at least a half hour each day to help stretch the leg muscles spasm. Despises, usually half an hour, but since getting this horse, she would not fall. You can not make it bounce move again, but she just loves to sit on it and watch TV.
But we have not yet had time to assess the long term durability, but Giddyup N 'Go Pony is solidly made and took a lot' of types of blows for only 5 years of age seem to be able to spread out. Can be mounted without tools, except that most of children's toys that require a Philip screwdriver to open the battery box. I could not understand what they are worried about small parts for children under 3.
The only drawback I can think of is that it is quite high and requires a degree of balance to stay on. For a year to 3 years I would probably make this toy one adult supervision only.

Bostitch SX150-BHF-2 18-gauge Hardwood Flooring Stapler Review

Bostitch SX150-BHF-2 18-gauge Hardwood Flooring Stapler

Bostitch SX150-BHF-2 18-gauge Hardwood Flooring Stapler


Bostitch SX150-BHF-2, The Bostitch SX150-BHF-2 18-Gauge Hardwood Flooring Stapler is ideal for installing engineered hardwood flooring and is factory-set for Bruce Natural Reflections flooring. Perfect for anyone who wants a professional-grade finish, this tool operates with any standard air compressor, features a lightweight and durable magnesium body, has an adjustable foot for handling a range of flooring sizes, and more.

Customer Reviews

Worked flawlessly to lay 600sq/ft of 3/8″ solid Brazillian Redwood from BellaWood. Make sure you grab this gun for the hard solid woods as I rented the LHF97125-2 first and it wouldn’t push the 20ga staples all the way through.

We are in the construction/residential remodeling business in Florida. Most homes here are built on a concrete slab so we have installed many hardwood floors by gluing them…not fun, but necessary. We recently remodeled a frame home with plywood sub-floors and finally had the opportunity to use staples for the installation, so ordered this Bostitch SX150-BHF-2. What a time saver!! It worked like a charm throughout the entire 2300 sq. foot installation. No glitches, no jamming up of the staples. I just wish there were more wood frame structures down this way! Highly recommended!

The first time I did floor, I went with the gluing route and what a sticky pain in the rear that was… 700sqft took months. This time I lucked out and have a wood sub-floor. We went with 5/16″ solid Brazilian Mountain Teak… and this Bostitch SX150-BHF-2 has been wonderful. Pounds in the staples to the perfect depth with just 80 psi. Fast and clean (180sqft done in about 16 hours). This stapler is very light and slides well on the tongue. Over the course of 2600 staples, I had no jams, but it did misfire once where it fired two at once – send a spark flying a good foot. “The price was right” – even with overnight shipping.

Braun Series 3-370cc Men’s Shaving System Review

Braun Series 3-370cc Men's Shaving System

Braun Series 3-370cc Men’s Shaving System


Braun Series 3-370cc Men’s Shaving System, Welcome to a revolution of the New Braun Series 3 shaving system which delivers a most comfortable shave. The new Series 3 has a breakthrough adaptability of shaving head features to give you gorgeously smooth skin. The Triple Action Free Float System consists of three independently floating shaving elements provides unprecedented adaptability, helping to maximize the effectiveness of the shaving system.

Customer Reviews

Pleasantly surprised-Been using electric shavers for years. Shaves just as fast and as close as my Norelco. But with less irritation. And cost less too.I dont use the alachol bath. Hairs shaved are so fine, I cant even find them. My brother has a very sensitive neck and this is the first electric he has used that DOESNT irritate his neck. I recommend Braun Series 3-370cc.

This Braun Series 3-370cc is just so much better than a Norelco, or any of the other triangular razors. It is easier to cut your side burns…and the side burn trimmer is better as well! You get a very close shave. So much so, that I don’t really see much of a difference between this and a razor, even one with the 4 blades on it. We recently stayed over a friends house and in the morning I wanted to shave and used a hand razor, I forget the brand…..I realized how much I missed my Braun. No burning with the Braun. No nicks either. For that matter, it was just so much nicer when I came home and used my electric, and it just showed me how much I love my Braun. You can wash the heads or you can let the machine clean it. I will mention one thing. Don’t think that if you do not clean it every day the liquid will last longer. It will not. It evaporates, so use it. It does keep everything clean, however it is also an extra expense, and one that you really do not need to use unless you have the need because of some kind of medical issue. The heads are so easy to clean, though once in a while I will buy another cartridge (btw, they are cheapest here). You can easily travel with this (without the cleaner/holder). One last thing, my wife loves that it doesn’t leave a lot of shavings in the sink. If you are considering this, all I can say is go for it. You won’t be looking back!
