Save money on monthly gym fees and get yourself in shape with the compact, comfortable Schwinn 230 recumbent exercise bike.

This exercise bike is the best for the money. It doesn't have some of the buttons and whistles the others do, but the last I heard MP3 adapters don't have any cardio vascular impact at all. Shipping: I read a lot of negative reviews on receiving busted up boxes, missing pieces, scratched merchandise, etc. Mine was shipped ABF and was pretty much flawless. There were a couple of holes in the outer cardboard, but it was shipped through a freight hauler, and was shipped FREE. Assembly: I read one review where the purchaser took 4 hours to put the bike together. He must have been using his left hand in the dark. I stuck this together in 90 minutes, taking my time and no help from my wife with directions. All pieces were included through use of a shrink wrap system for hardware, and all necessary tools for assembley are INCLUDED! User Friendly: The bike is easy to use, and directions are detailed, yet simple to follow. I wanted to spend time exercising, not playing with gizzmos.

Step up to the extra power of the DeWALT14.4-volt XRP battery pack. This high-capacity NiCad (nickel cadmium) battery delivers 40 percent more run time than standard NiCads. That means you can work longer—drive more screws, bore more holes—and spend less time swapping out and recharging batteries.

I purchased one of these to replace an original XR 14.4 volt battery that came with a drill/driver. Have only charged and used it once so far. The only drawback is that the XRP is a little fatter than the XR so that the carrying case does not close with the battery attached to the drill.

I priced them at Home Depot and couple of other online sources. The Amazon combination of price and free shipping beats all the rest...Read More....

Sonic technology first changed the way we clean our teeth, it's now changing how we cleanse our skin. The sonic frequency moves Clarisonic's soft, gentle brush back and forth at more than 300 times per second. The sonic micro-massage clears your pores, loosening dirt, makeup and oil. Clarisonic® is proven to remove more dirt (sebum and makeup) than traditional, superficial cleansing, allowing your serums and moisturizers to absorb better. Skin is left soft and pampered without harsh abrasion or chemicals. Clarisonic reduces dry skin patches, oily areas and blemishes and removes 6X more makeup. Pore size, fine lines, and wrinkles appear smaller.What else you need to know:Clarisonic should be used as part of a daily skincare regimen to provide smoother feeling and looking skin. Ideal for all skin types and used and recommended by leading dermatologists and cosmetic surgeons. Gentle enough to use for cleansing rosacea and sebborheic dermatitis.Set includes: A Clarisonic brush and charger, one normal brush head, one sensitive brush head, and a 2 oz Daily Cleanser.

This product has been effectively cleaning my skin; the result has been seen in the past 3 months. My forehead skin was prone to acne and before using this product, pimples have been on and off there, no matter how I treated them. Tried Clarisonic brush twice a day, a minute per session and I could see the effect in less than a week. My skin is currently smoother and suppler than ever; even much less white-heads and comedoes, and I'm very satisfied! .......Read More...

The Soyabella Soymilk Maker is the elegantly easy way to make fresh soymilk and a variety of other delicious recipes in your own kitchen. Simply add soybeans and water to the Soyabella Soymilk Maker and you get fresh soymilk in about 15 minutes.

The Soyabella makes perfect soymilk and worked beautifully. Yes, it's noisy during the grinding stage. (What grinder isn't?) Yes, it's a bit hard to clean. (But easier to clean and service than the competitor models.) But it does what it says it does and I can't complain about that.

My advice? If you are American and require the extra sweeteners and vanilla to enjoy it, don't forget to add it all in. I'm very sick of people rating these products down just because they want sugar in their mix and didn't think to add it. I prefer a natural unsweetened soymilk in addition to the variety of other flavor recipes. If you are adventurous, seek out recipes to use the waste products instead of just throwing it all out. We use every last bit. Also, I encourage everyone to explore making their own tofu with the soymilk they make. It's a very rewarding experience....Read More...

My kids got the Flip camcorder for Christmas on Amazon. My kids are in High School and involved in a lot of different activities. The videos I take and share with my family are priceless and a lot better than just a verbal decription. The videos are very clear and the software very easy to use. The fact that it will condense the videos for email is even better. Oh,and the kids like to use it too to share events with their friends. Everyone likes to see themselves on video. My only problem so far is the front casing where you change the batteries fell off while I was taking video of the family skiing. With my gloves on I did not notice I was actually opening the compartment and lost it..Read More...

Nyko's Charge Station for Wii is a great wayto save money on batteries. This dock features twin rechargeable battery packs for the Wii Remote.

This product allows you to replace the 2 AA batteries (and the battery cover) for a Wii controller with a rechargeable battery pack. We have had two minor problems: First, early versions of this product often didn't have the bend in the one of the copper metal pieces done correctly, so contact with the battery leads would be poor or non-existent; it was easily cured with a pair of pliers. Secondly, sometimes if you aren't careful when you put the controller into the charge station, it won't make good contact and so it won't charge. In general though they work great...Read More...
