Oregon Scientific SE102 LS Heart Rate Monitor Review

Oregon Scientific SE102 LS Heart Rate MonitorI think that this is a great heart rate monitor. I like that it beeps and vibrates.I do most of my workouts in the gym.I also usually have headphones on, so a beeping heart monitor isn't too useful while I'm doing cardio, but the vibration option still allows the monitor to notify me when I'm above or below my target heart rate.

The strap is comfortable.It goes right under my sports bra which is a plus.I also like that it counts my calories burned.

Honeywell TC150 Wireless Rain Gauge Review

Honeywell TC150 Wireless Rain GaugeI mounted the remote rain sensor less than 25 feet from the main uniit and the remote temperature sensor less than 50 feet away in a visible straight-line run. (The temperature sensor was visible through a window, main unit resting on window sill.) Brand new alkaline batteries. Unit failed to maintain communication to both sensors. It works when everything is together on the bench; when you set it up it fails miserably. I'm returning it and will try the Oregon Scientific model instead.

Product Description:
The Honeywell TC150 Alarm Clock and Wireless Rain Gauge can monitor rain fall up to 100 feet away. With a back-lit display for easy night time viewing, the clock offers precise quartz time, a dual crescendo alarm with snooze, and programmable time zones. The clock also features a rainfall display, programmable rain alarm, and offers up to seven days of rain collection history. It also has three-channel remote sensor capabilities and comes with one wireless sensor. The station can auto-scan all three remote channels. (Additional sensors for remote monitoring are sold separately.) When the remote sensor is powered by two AA alkaline batteries, the unit has an outside temperature range of minus 4 to 158 degrees Fahrenheit, and minus 38 to 158 degrees Fahrenheit if lithium batteries are used. For humidity monitoring, the clock has an indoor and outdoor range of 25 to 90 percent.

iHome iHR5 Remote Control (Silver Buttons) Review

iHome iHR5 Remote ControlI think this is a really useful product, because you don't have to be near the Ihome to use it's volume control, "on and off" button, radio and stuff. The reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that the remote controls the ipod only when it's directly connected to the Ihome (it doesn't do anything to the ipod, if it's connected by the cable), so sometimes you just end up using it to turn on and off or for the volume...
But I can't say it's a bad product, 'cause it helps me a lot, specially when I'm in bed and don't want to get up.
I recommend.

45pt Dehumidifier Review

45pt DehumidifierI wish I had read all the negative reviews this company gets before wasting my money and time. The first unit worked for about 5 months, then it simply stopped gathering water. The unit looked like it was working, so I did not notice the problem right away, until I checked the the bucket which was dry as a bone. Tried all kinds of things to no avail. Contacted customer service to get a replacement, and the guy on the phone did not even let me finish describing the problem... He already knew the unit was broken and proceeded to give me instructions for getting a replacement. He totally sounded like he had given the same instructions hundreds of times. I was blown away when he told me they did not want me to send the defective unit back. All I needed to do was to cut off about 8" from the power cord and mail it, along with my receipt and a check for $14 to cover the shipping of a refurbished replacement unit. They consider the units basically disposable and not worth shipping back.

The replacement unit arrived about a month later and it worked fine... for about two months. Then it did the same exact thing as the previous one, and a few days later the fan started making a loud noise. Now I'm out of warranty and have two huge paper weights waiting to be taken to the dump. But I have learned one thing... Never again buy a Haier product!

Grundig G4 World Recorder Black Review

Grundig G4 World Recorder BlackThe previous (and first) review (Cool design, mediocre performance, July 13, 1999) of the G4 is no doubt a review of the discontinued Grundig Executive Traveler G4, not the new Grundig World Recorder G4 (the World Recorder did not exist in 1999). Currently there do not appear to be any reviews of the G4 World Recorder.

I do not own either radio. My rating is based merely on the fact that Grundig's documentation and specifications fail to mention at what bit rate (Kbps) the G4 will record and the fact that the recording bit rate (i.e. recording quality) is apparently not selectable as there is no mention of it in the user manual.

Gpx KCL8806DT Under Counter 7 Inch LCD T Review

Gpx KCL8806DT Under Counter 7 Inch LCD TThe best thing that I can say about this is that other reviewers on this site shared my opinions about how terrible this product really is. At least I know that it wasn't something that I did wrong!

This product is really terrible and it gets one star simply because there is no option to give it zero stars.

First, the set up instructions are totally worthless. No text, just pictures that don't explain the details at all.

The cable fitting is on the back of the set which requires that the set be not installed against the wall, and it means that the set cannot be mounted flush with a kitchen cabinent. That's bad design for an under-the-counter unit. I went to Radio Shack and purchased a little 90 degree angle coaxial cable adapter that helped somewhat, but it didn't totally solve the problem.But I shouldn't have had to do that.

Then there's the channel setup.That's a nightmare. The auto scan doesn't work very well, and it assigns channels to weird frequencies.It misses some of the channels and there appears to be no way to recapture them manually.Those channels that are located by the auto scan are not tuned precisely and the manual fine tuning adjustment is very cumbersome, and it must be redone for every frequency.I worked on it for a couple of hours before I had to take a break, and I'm still not even half way done.It might have gone faster if there had been any instructions, but of course, there weren't any.

Several other reviewers noted that this TV won't work with digital cable. I don't know about that because there are no instructions!

There is no contact information included for a technical assistance telephone line. Some of the other reviewers noted that they had called customer assistance. Hooray for them, because there was no contact information included in my package. The company must have been so overwhelmed with customer assistance calls that they stopped giving out the number.

If that were not enough, after all of that, the picture screen died after less than 24 hours of use.That could simply be a sample defect, certainly, but combined with all of the other problems I am very discouraged.Of course, there is no warranty information included and no information of where to send the product for service or exchange, which happens to be the reason why I checked here on line. I still haven't located the contact information, but at least I found this review site where I can warn the world about this stupid set.

All in all, I must say AVOID THIS PRODUCT LIKE THE PLAUGE.
