1,100 | HTH 52026 Super Shock Treatment Swimming Pool Chlorine Cleaner, 1 lb (Pack of 12) | Patio, Lawn & Garden | #25 | 16,534 | $69.99 | [{'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I have experimented with various types and brands of shock for my pool and this one provides the most value for the money.\nI've tried the large buckets of shock that have 73% Cal Hypo (the active ingredient in sanitizing your pool). They are very heavy (50%) and I always used more than necessary with the scoop. I've also tried other bags of shock with 68% Cal Hypo. Oddly, they were rated to treat 10,000 gallons per bag.\n\nThese bags contain 56.44% Cal Hypo and are rated to treat 13,500 gallons. I have found them to be just as effective as the more expensive bags. I have a 15,000 gallon pool and only use 1 pack about every 4 days depending on pool usage. That's the same rate I used with others without getting any algae buildup.\n\nOne more tip: I found the effectiveness improved when I started mixing the shock in a bucket of water first. They tell you to do that to protect the liner but I've also found in roughly similar conditions that the Free Chlorine lasted longer when I pre-mixed it."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "The 12 package portions is perfect for my 20x40 9' pool. One every month and/or just before a decent sized pool party and you're good to go. No measuring and not having to worry about the environment they are stored in.

I had a recurring subscription through Amazon. One time I used it and later noticed a HUGE stain in my pool shortly after. I didn't know the stain was a reaction from this product immediately. I balanced my pool, bought stain removal (spending spending spending), followed all instructions to the T. EVENTUALLY, I got the stain to go away after a lot of time, money, effort, and frustration. So fast fwd. Next time I had to shock my pool, WITHIN MINUTES, it stain my pool again. But not just in that spot, literally in every spot the product touched the floor of my inground pool. I sprinkle it SO lightly, I literally walk around the pool like 3 or 4 times and salt and pepper it in just to try and prevent it from accumulating anywhere on the bottom of the pool. Alas, it does not matter. So I cancelled my subscription after having used this product for years. My feeling is that with the rise in costs on chlorine tablets, HTC seems to have taken the low road and changed the ingredients comprising their product.

Some were dead and some were twitching and others were just walking around. I finished them off with Lysol Disinfecting Spray! Yes Lysol kills roaches and apparently half dead bees as well!

1,102 | Arm & Hammer Clear Balance Swimming Pool Maintenance Tablets, 16 Count | Patio, Lawn & Garden | #27 | 13,111 | $20.78 | [{'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'This product is mostly baking soda but also has a clarifier added in it..... 86% / 14%...We personally like the convenience of the tablets and can use them in conjunction with the chlorinating tablets.

Comes packaged nicely in a plastic ice cream bucket like container with a handle. Inside they come in a plastic bag... one was broken in ours but I’ve seen this a lot in past reviews.\nThese seems simple, but I’m telling you they are effective. They cut our chlorine levels down, break down algae, balance PH levels and is safe for your eyes. My daughter has sensitive eyes and goes under the water with no complaints!\nWe have a 14’ above ground 42” deep and it’s safe for the liner. We also use this in conjunction with pool shock and chlorinating pucks (3”). You will need to use shock, however we only use a quarter of a one pound bag once every two weeks. We have good city water also, and that does make a difference. Also, this will help your chlorine work more effectively.\nSo - recap. All we bought for our 14’, 42” pool to keep the levels balanced was -\n- HTH pool shock\n- chlorinating tablets 3”\n- A&H tablets\n\n***this is an honest review from an Amazon customer.

I have battled with trying to maintain the clorine levels (which the hot Sun eats up immediately); and to deter green algae growth,(which LOVES the heat). I've wasted hundreds on chemicals, and test kits and cleaning my filters sometimes every week in the Summer! I had to drain the pool several times and acid wash just to get it back to normal. Cut to this Summer- I read some reviews about this prodcut that honestly sounded too good to be true, but for $20. I thought I'd try it out. Gods knows we've tried everything else. Well, its been almost a month now, and we have had the worst hot weather which is when the algae usually starts up, but since I started using this, I swear- there is NO MORE ALGAE! I used to vacumn the massive amounts of green algae off the walls every day and left my pump and pool vac robot running for over 12-14 hours! Now I just use these tablets with my cloring tablets and I cut the pump running to 8 hours, and STILL NO ALGAE. My pool used to also get really cloudy for no reason, but not since I started using this. I have done nothing different other than add this product to my 2 clorine floaties and keep adding tablets along with cloring tablets. I have not had toshock the pool since, or clean my filters yet. I have yet to see any algae- I am still in shock. I have not had to brush the walls for almost a week! (Though I will anyway, just to be safe).

I put these tablets in my skimmers because I have a chlorinator.\n\nAfter a few months of using it, I have to say...it really works. The pool glistens like liquid glass. Every time I check my pool, pH is around 7.5 and alkalinity is around 90. The chlorine has normal efficacy.\n\nSome people say this gets "sudsy". If you have your chemicals right (especially make sure you have enough calcium), this is minimal if at all.\n\nI can probably use up to 7 of these tablets a week in the summer, so you\'ll need more than the 16 that\'s in there.

We used this DEET free mosquito repellent and we didn’t get bit. It has an easy spray applicator and we sprayed ourselves a lot. I would say it was effective for the 3 hours we were at the park. I think everyone at the party ended up spraying themselves and their kids with it. The smell is definitely a strong lemon smell which I like but might not be for everyone.

I understand why people looking for a natural product would like to know what it contains. The most likely reason for warnings about eye irritation and keeping away from flame is that it contains 45% ETHANOL. Have you ever sprayed vodka or isopropanol in your eye? It would be irritating. And yes, it\'s flammable. The company probably hasn\'t paid to test the product on children under 3, so they have to tell you not to apply it to them. And just like coca cola will not give you their formula, this company has their own recipe that they don\'t disclose for financial reasons. If the information isn\'t on the label, surely Amazon can\'t "require it" in the description.\n\n**Questions about ingredients**\nThe material safety data sheet says it contains 30% oil of lemon eucalyptus (naturally derived) and 45% ethanol. The other ingredients are listed as a "buffer" so probably something to keep the pH at the right level. If you look at the Q&A on the Repel website, many many people have asked about specific ingredients and the company will give a yes or no answer. According to the website, the product does NOT contain: fragrances, petroleum distillates, dyes, formaldehyde, perfluorinated compounds, Bronopol, DMDM hydantoin, BHA, Boric acid, Triclosan, Parabens, PEG, phthalates, urea, Quaternium-15, Propylene glycol, Butylene glycol, sulfates, soy, nuts, milk, eggs, or gluten.\n\n**Here\'s the problem with buying your own lemon eucalyptus oil.**\nYes, the active ingredient comes directly from lemon eucalyptus citriodora oil. But in nature, the main component of the oil is citronellal and as the oil ages, that citronellal slowly turns into p-menthane-diol (PMD). PMD is the compound that is effective for repelling insects. This PMD is found only in small amounts in "young" oil, it must be harvested from older leaves/twigs and/or the citronellal is turned into PMD under mildly acidic conditions. You don\'t know how much PMD is in the aromatherapy oil you buy, so it might not be very effective.\n\nI am not associated with this company at all. I am a scientist who also cares what I put on my body. I was ready to buy the essential oil rather than this spray but I can\'t be sure it has the right ingredients to repel insects. If someone comes out with an essential oil with a measured amount of PMD, I\'d be all for it. For now I will stick to Repel, because I don\'t think it contains any unsafe ingredients and I know it will work.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Bought this product a while back trusting the high reviews. Did not get the chance to use until this last week while on vacation in Hawaii. Lathered all over my arms and legs before we went out on our first day. First of all the spray actually squirts. Had to squirt on my hand to spread on my arms and legs. A couple hours later I broke out with the worst hives on the palms of my hands which spread throughout the rest of my hands/fingers, arms, legs, thighs, and abdomen. The hives were so itchy and eventually began to blister. Consulted a doctor and was diagnosed with Dyshidrosis Eczema which is a form of an allergic reaction to a chemical. The rash will last 2-4 weeks with the steroid creams they gave me that I had to pay out of pocket for since I’m not from Hawaii. Not to mention how miserable I was the remainder of our trip. Read the fine print people! If you have sensitive skin this is not for you! They clearly indicate that it can cause allergic reaction in some cases. Unfortunately I was one of them. Also, it didn’t repel the mosquitoes because at the end of that night despite my horrendously itchy rash I had a handful of mosquito bites on my legs as well.

Approved by governmental agencies for use in malaria-prone areas. EXTREMELY SMELLY. Buy and use it with confidence.\n\nI have been using this product to repel mosquitoes exclusively for seven years. I became so confident in it that I volunteered to survey wildlife in New England bogs and swamps for six years running. I can't think of a better test than standing around in prime mosquito territory for four hours at a time just daring them to bite. It works every time and they don't get their free lunch. I also used it in Alaska, Kenya, and India and was NEVER BITTEN.\n\nThis is the only non-DEET product that the International Travel Clinic at Dartmouth-Hitchcock recommends to those with destinations in malaria-prone countries, and oil of lemon eucalyptus is one of only two non-DEET chemicals approved by the CDC.\n\nThere are many reviews here that say this product didn't work well for them. I wonder if it may be that some people are not applying it correctly. This is an oil, not an aerosol, and it must be applied like sunscreen. The pump is merely for convenience. You spray some on, and then rub it over the entire area to be protected. If you fail to cover everything, the mosquitoes will home in on the uncovered area and bite there instead. You must apply this to your skin UNDER your clothes! Mosquitoes can bite through jeans, so thin summer shirts and shorts are no barrier to them.\n\nYou must also apply enough of the oil. If you stretch it too thin, it will not protect you. I cannot overstate how PUNGENT this stuff is; I wonder if some people don't apply enough because of the strong smell. You may have to try different amounts a few times until you find the amount that works right for you. Still, you don't have to slather on half a bottle or anything. The quickest I've ever gone through a supply was the one summer where I spent four days a week of swamp slogging with eight hours logged each day, and that only used one bottle. I'm pretty sure most people won't need nearly as much.\n\nYou must re-apply the oil at regular intervals. The effectiveness will wear off long BEFORE the smell does, so many people may think they are still protected when they are not. Re-apply every four to six hours. As an oil, this stuff is somewhat water resistant, but you will have to reapply sooner if you are swimming.\n\nAnother reason why people may think this isn't working is because it only keeps the mosquitoes from biting. It won't keep them from seeking you out. This is because it does not jam their long range radar, only the short range. A mosquito tracks potential prey using different senses when hunting for a potential lunch, than when it is looking for the safest place to bite an already discovered one. What happens with this stuff is they get close, and then get really confused. It's like they can see you until they get within a foot, and then you disappear. You can have several mosquitoes hovering around you, but none of them can find a good place to bite. They eventually give up and look for a less confusing blood source.\n\nLemon Eucalyptus will NOT work for you if you primarily want to repel black flies, ticks, or chiggers. In my experience, it is only so-so in repelling deer flies.\n\nFinally, this stuff is AMAZINGLY SMELLY. In outdoor environments, this usually isn't a problem. But you really, really, really don't want to apply it before getting in a small enclosed space like an elevator or a car. Even outside, some people will hate the smell, others like it better than the DEET spray alternatives. It kinda smells like cough drops mixed with citronella. Unlike most repellents, the smell does not fade much with time. You are going to smell like this until you shower. If you wore clothes over it, they will smell of it until they are washed. But I think the smell is a small price to pay to stay bite-free.\n\nOriginal review from 2007:\nI am allergic to Deet. I've been the one at the back of the camping/hiking/fishing trips silently feeding millions of mosquitoes and other biting insects in misery for years- until now. I've tried everything on the market and was always disappointed, since all the deet free products I tried either triggered my allergies or just plain didn't work. This year, my doctor recommended I try the deet-free Repel, and I am sold. The difference is like night and day. We took it on a trip photographing butterflies and dragonflies in swamps in the Rio Grande Valley, TX, and came away bite free. Didn't work on chiggers, but I don't think it's supposed to. I'm not sure it lasts as long as the deet-containing products- my husband started using it exclusively as well, and he has to apply it more often than the Off or Cutter products he used to use. But I'm talking a drop from six hours of effectiveness to four, hardly a problem if you have room in your pack to carry the stuff. Also, it smells like Eucalyptus, which some people don't like, and you will smell of it for HOURS, even after it has lost it's effectiveness or until you take a shower."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Hate the smell, but it definitely works.

I only dispose of the used litter when I'm opening a new bag. It clumps so well that I haven't ever had the feeling that I needed to clean out the box, so I will continue to top it off when it gets low until my bag runs out. I scoop each morning, but only because I want Sasha to have room. I've waited two days before and there is still no smell.\n\nI only have one cat but I think that this litter would be great for multi-cat households. This is the first non-flushable litter that I've had and I was concerned that I'm too lazy for a non-flushable, but combined with the Litter Genie I spend about 20 seconds scooping each day, and another 10 minutes to clean out the box each time I buy a new bag. The hardest part is carrying the 40 lb bag from my front door to the bathroom, and the very heavy 2 weeks' worth of pee balls down to the outside dumpster.\n\nThe first time I emptied the Litter Genie I was so amazed that I had to show everyone I knew! I've included that image as part of the review.\n\nThe packaging is sometimes perfect and sometimes my box is falling apart as I drag it inside, but that honestly is most likely an issue with my post office. It ships quickly with Amazon Prime and the bag is heavy duty so even if the box is destroyed, I haven't had an issue with the litter spilling. One time my post office would not deliver it because they repeatedly stated they couldn't get in the building.

1,107 | Earth Rated Dog Poop Bags, Guaranteed Leak Proof and Extra Thick Waste Bag Refill Rolls For Dogs, Lavender Scented, 270 Count | Pet Supplies | #2 | 110,298 | $13.99 | [{'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "Is it possible to love a dog poop bag? Heck yeah! I'm a veterinarian and I have tried many brands of bags over the years but since I discovered the Earth Rated Dog Waste Bags I use no other. I use the scented bags because on long walks it kind of disguises the smell of the feces (except those that are really potent), so you don't smell like feces to any passerby. I usually prefer unscented things because I have a sensitive nose and for those inclined, Earth Rated does offer non-scented bags. The Earth Rated bags are also a bit longer than a few other brands though most are similar length. However, the bags are definitely heavier than many other brands and also have way better sealed seams as well as high quality separation perforations. The central cylinder glides easily in every brand of bag holder I have. Lastly, a small but important detail...you know that small piece of tape that holds a new roll together? Most brands use a tape that when you pull it off it puts a hole in the opposing part of the bag if you don't very carefully remove it. A hole at the top of a bag is no big deal but further down can lead to leakage. The Earth Rated tape comes off real nice and my first bag isn't destroyed.

I obsessed over which pop-bag to order for our Bernese puppy for well over two weeks. I read an insane amount of reviews and even made a list so I could keep my favorites in one place. I considered every point. So here it is...\n\nPros:\n- While many say poop smells like poop and they don’t need the extra scent, holy cow it helps!! My puppy has über stinky poo, the lavender scent is welcomed! I generally hold my breath as I scoop but at least the last whiff is pleasant.\n- Super easy to tear!! When a pup is pulling to move on post deposit, fiddling with the bags can seriously induce anger. No issue with these! (I had tried dollar store brand and even leftover baby diaper bags, nothing compared!)\n- Open relatively easily. I say relatively because dry winter hands don’t get a great grip, but any moisture to your skin and that little “pinchy-snap” action will open this bag for cleanup!\n- They’re truly biodegradable. I know, I know some don’t care and the contents aren’t exactly great for the environment either, but I feel like I’m doing my part. 2-3 bags per day. 1,095 bags per year. Over 10,000 bags in his lifetime. Less guilt.\n- Large size!! Big dog, big poop. Like scary big. This bag is large enough to do the trick, tie the end, and not get poo on your hand. Win.\n\nCons (sort of):\n- They’re not the cheapest. I can’t be the only person who calculated the cost per bag. But the bottom line is 270 bags should last me at least 90 days at 3 per day. So roughly $3.99 per month...

It's really hard to pick up poop from mulch without also retrieving a bunch of mulch. Wood chips and plastic bags typically don't mix, but these bad boys (or should I say good boys?) are able to handle the mulch without ripping and tearing which is awesome in my book.\n\nLastly, I don't typically like the smell of fake lavender, but these actually have a really nice scent that does a fairly good job of blocking scent.

That being said, it is because of those two factors that it OVERSHADOWS THE SMELL OF THE POO!!!! Yea!!!!\n\nAs a side benefit, I found these bags to be perfect for stinky diapers. The bags cover the smell so they can be disposed of in the normal trash so that I don't have to freeze my butt off running every stinky diaper out to the trash in the winter time. I also don't have to deal with a diaper genie anymore that about knocked me out every time I emptied it every two to three days.\n\nThese bags are a staple in our house!!!\n\nLastly, my sister purchased the amazon bags that are similar to these in lavender and I was able to find out that the Earth Rated (while a little pricier) are WAY better!!!

Great value for your money"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2016', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': " Why did I buy Pet Training Pads?\nI have been using Pet Training Pads over 5 years now. I have 2 small toy dogs and they do business in the pads. When I first brought them home, it was a middle of winter where we had several feet of snow in the ground with really cold temperatures. So, I had to use the training pads. By the spring same, they both were already used to the pads. I have tried 'Training Pads' from various sources; i.e. local pet-shop, grocery stores, warehouse clubs and also few different brand name pads from Amazon.com. My 2 dogs are very spoiled. They would not use the Pad if it is dirty or wet. So, I have to change often and I used approx. 3-5 pads daily, I also don’t like to have soiled Puppy Pads lying around my house too long either. So, I purchase at least 10 boxes of 100 pads yearly, if not more.\n\nWhat am I looking for when I buy Training Pads?\nI am looking for large size to accommodate 2 dogs, made for good absorbent and leak free from the overflow at side of the pads.\n\nWhy did I buy this “AmazonBasics” Pet Training Pads?\nOne of the advertising photo shows AmazonBasics Pads 5 layer design, especially 3rd layer caught my eyes. It’s Polymer Core that turns liquid to Gel. Also size (28x34) is large enough for what I am looking for. I am new to AmazonBasics products, so I didn't know if quality will be good or not. But, I like the Amazon policy enough, so I wouldn't worry too much about it. If product is bad quality or didn't work out, I know Amazon will guarantee for refund. It’s risk free.\n\nHow is the quality of this pads?\nIn my 5 years buying Pet Training Pads (use average about 100 pads/monthly), I tried many brand name pads, various sizes and different price range. So, I know the quality when I see one. When I order this “Amazon Basics” Pet Training pads, I didn’t know how good it would work. What I saw and read online advertisement for this product looks good, but I wasn’t sure if it will hold the liquid as it said it would.\nWhen I opened the box and I spread out the one of the pad. I can feel its quality. It’s almost like I am holding the cloth quilted pad and not disposable pad. It feels thick, and have cushion, but it is firm too.\nAs advertised, it holds liquid well. When liquid hits the pad, it goes down and spread at the bottom layers rather than spread at the top surface. So, my dogs like this. The surface is dryer than the other ones that I have been used.\n\nDo I recommend this to other Pet Training Pad users?\nYes, I would recommend this to anyone without any hesitation. At least try once and see it yourself.\n\nAny cons?\nI can’t think of any yet.\n\nSummary: This is the best quality Pet Training Pads I ever used in my 5 years of using the puppy pads and I will be buying this pads from now on. Each pads price isn’t the lowest, but it has good absorption, thus, it saves money in a long run."}] | https://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Basics-Leak-proof-Quick-dry-Training/dp/B0744KM2M6/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 |

This is the one litter that doesn’t kill my allergies when I scoop or fill the boxes - my husband was hesitant about 1 cat who we then adopted as an adult and he likes her but she’s very to herself. Somehow he let me have a kitten (we also 5 dogs and if I wanted a kangaroo he’d literally let me have that too honestly) as we both weren’t “cat people” and he just hates the smell of litter and how they walk on counters and all of that. Our kitten is a maniac but she was 8 weeks when I got her last month, she wasn’t litter trained apparently but immediately used the box in the car on our way home and forever moving forward. This litter conceals the smell and is easy to scoop without breaking up the waste and making it gross. I love this litter, it doesn’t leave paw prints all over my house or counters or tables, she’s stuck her paw in an African cichlid tank and nothing changed with water levels (idk if it even would but just making note of that lol). It’s also easy to pour. I love the boxes so much - I have C5, c6, c7 disc injuries with chronic pain disorder due to C5 causing nerve pain and c6 has a hairline crack. I work full time and crazy hours so having litter enough for two cats delivered fast to my house really made me appreciate this silly box of litter enough to leave this review.\n\nDisclaimer is that I have tried other brands, and this one has always taken the cake. It was hard to litter lately and between working frontlines in NYC covid pandemic, and not wanting to risk the safety of other plus the sheer fear that I have FIVE autoimmune disorders, I was so afraid honestly more about others.

When he was a puppy I didn\'t know even a portion of what I do now and he tore up a great number of toys as a result.\n\nI\'m starting fresh with a new pound puppy. My 10-month old took off with the bones initially and tried to chew them. I removed them from her and redirected her to the real treasure. After the 2nd round of training she started ignoring the bones and going for the real treat. She now takes her meals in this or her Kong Wobbler. I still have to watch because as I was typing this she finished the game and got bored waiting for me so proceeded to chew up one of the bones.\n\nThe 8-yr old owned this in no time. His first time with it he put his paw on the center to hold it in place, then picked up the bones, tossed them to the side and reaped his rewards. He was considerably more slobbery than the girl, so do be aware that these things can get slimed. I\'m using other toys with him due to the goo factor, and to offer him more of a challenge since this was far too easy for him.\n\nThis has been a great relief for boredom for the 10-month old. She cracked her foot on our patio when the two dogs were running full speed ahead in the yard, resulting in a toe fracture. I am to keep this puppy on limited activity for 4 - 6 weeks so I\'m learning all sorts of new tricks to keep her mind active to make up for the lack of physical exertion. Now that she\'s able to put weight on the foot this toy, the Kong Wobbler, and a plush toy with holes to pull smaller plushes from are helping me do just that.\n\nPros:\nGood introduction to puzzle toys\nDurable But requires training to prevent dogs from chewing the pieces up\nLightweight\nEasy to set up\n\nCons:\nNoisy if your dog manhandles it\nMoves all over the floor\nSlobber can make the pieces difficult to handle (or just gross)\nTakes a little time to set up\nSupervision needed\n\nVideo is the boy on his 3rd attempt.

It is actually pretty challenging for the dog if you know how to fill it. You can put the treats through the holes in the knobs, and when the dog pushes the knob over the round dents, the treat will fall in. So this is actually a multi-step puzzle:\nStep 1: push the "wings" out of the way\nStep 2: push the knobs over the dent, so the treat will fall into the dent\nStep 3: push the knob back to its original position, so it no longer blocks the dent.\nStep 4: fish out the treat\nStep 5: repeat 7 times, because that\'s how many knobs there are.\nOccasionally a neighboring wing will also get in the way of trying to move one of the knobs, which adds the extra challenge of figuring out why the knob isn\'t moving, and solving that problem!\nIt\'s great!\nEdit: We\'ve now upgraded to the level 3 difficulty. I wasn\'t sure if it was even possible for a dog to figure out something this complex, rather than just moving pieces at random until the food comes out. It took her about half a year to get this good, but now one of my dogs can empty the entire puzzle within less than a minute. (This is not a fault of the puzzle, it\'s just that she\'s apparently a genius!) She knows exactly that she needs to turn the center wheel first, so that the knob can be moved over the hole to make the treat fall out. She does it very methodically now; you can watch the video if you want to be impressed! She figured this out all on her own, I never showed her any of this. My other dog has been using this puzzle for the same amount of time, and he\'s still at the "beat it up until treats randomly become visible" stage. Seems he\'s less intelligent.\nI am very happy with these toys.

They were so horrifying that they would allow their dog's unsupervised while playing with this toy. There is nothing wrong with this toy, only what is wrong with some pet owners that should not be allowed to have a dog or pet.\n\nThey complained that their dog chewed the toy, unsupervised mind you, and complained that it did not hold up, or it hurt their dog's gums. For whatever reason, they seemed very confused, and I'm saying this in a nice way, or Amazon won't post my review. It's NOT a chew toy PEOPLE, nor does it say that anywhere, or indicate that it is.\n\nWhat is does do is achieve enrichment by making a dog's brain work, and once he is done with the toy, you clean it and put it away. You don't leave the toy with a dog unsupervised. This seems common sense, like not leaving 5-year child unsupervised, but...? Even chew toys have a warning to not leave a dog unsupervised. I'm here to say that those negative reviews are shameful, and I'd be embarrassed to tell other people that I'm not a good dog parent.\n\nThis is a terrific toy that my 6-year-old 5 lb. Yorkie loved. This is obviously great for anyone with small dogs as you can seem with accompanying video I took of my dog. The lids don't snap shut so they are easy to open with their nose. His biggest problem was the bones believe it or not. LOL I think he's small so he doesn't want to mouth them, and not sure how to get them out of the way.

Let\'s just say I\'ve picked up a lot of fecal material, far more than most. I always use bags to pick up after my dogs both in my yard (I find the only way to keep up on it is to pick them up immediately) and on walks. I\'ve tried many different poop bags including some commercial bags that normally supply parks and stuff. Amazonbasics poop bags are best, I have been using them since 2015 but am just writing the review now, apparently I didn\'t need the helpful votes I mean because I wanted to thoroughly test them.\n\n- They hardly ever fail or break. I would say lowest failure/breakage rate of any bag I have ever used.\n- They are just the right size for a good sized load from an 80 lb German Shepherd. But they\'ll handle smaller loads too.\n- They are black and pretty opaque. Does anybody really want to see the load?\n- They are unscented. Scented bags don\'t hide anything they just add a gross artificial scent to the natural poop aroma\n- They seem to be slightly thicker than other bags. I haven\'t actually confirmed this, like I haven\'t measured it with a micrometer or anything, but it seems to be the case. Some competitors bags are so thin they feels kinda dicey when you pick up a hot mess.\n- Did I mention they are BLACK? Black is the only color poop bags should ever be made in. Nobody wants to carry a turd in a translucent blue or light green bag for the duration of their morning walk. "Hi Dave, nice seeing you today" (waves with hand holding turd in a bag as the other one has the leashes ... now do you want that turd to be silhouetted by the morning sun in a translucent blue bag or do you want it in a nice opaque black?).\n- They come with a nifty dispenser ...

Nothing is more disgusting than walking around with a semi-transparent poop bag with a handful of poop inside. These Amazon bags have no scent, but it does a great job keeping the poop smell out. I rarely get a whiff of poop smell while walking with a full bag. I've tried scented bags, but it does about the same thing as spraying a bathroom with air freshener... Just smells like lavender scented poop.\n\nMy 60 lb dog seems to only poop in areas that are surrounded by sharp dead dried grass or pine straw, just challenging the poop bag. Some of the other brands I've tried, I've had the undesirable experience of getting poop on my hand through a puncture in the bag. With the Amazon brand, this has not happened, and the bag holds up pretty well to sharp poky things.\n\nI'm super happy with the durability and the low cost of these bags. The only complaint is that the perforations between the bags are not that great and it's hard to separate.

Based on my 3 years of experience of using them, I can really attest to the false claims that they make about this product. Let's go down the list of their claims, shall we?\n\nFirst, each tray is supposed to last 20-30 days for one cat. Well, I have one cat and if I don't switch trays after 1.5-2 weeks then there is urine all over the floor underneath it. So that means that I have to replace each tray every 1.5-2 weeks. Which means I now spend almost $30 in litter per month. When I had two cats I was replacing these trays WEEKLY. If you have two cats, you can forget about these unless you're a millionaire.\n\nThe brand claims these trays are leak-proof which I just debunked. We even put a pee pad underneath each tray because they leak even with the plastic film at the bottom AND with layering the top cover under the bottom tray for extra protection.\n\nMold grows on the feces and urine once it is collected at the bottom of the tray leading to additional odor--gross.\n\nThe brand boasts that the crystals are low-tracking and don't stick to pet's paws, yet I find little blue crystals all over my house and sometimes in my bed--again, gross.\n\nThese crystals don't have a scent, which I like, but do absolutely nothing to cover odor. And that is with me switching out for a new box every 1.5-2 weeks! My laundry room constantly reeks of urine.\n\nDue to all of this, cleanup is a disaster. I have to wear gloves or I am covered in pee, I have to tape all four corners of the box shut so that when I put it into a trash bag it doesn't open and explode everywhere, and I have to sweep up crystals and mop up urine every time I switch out boxes. The more I type on, the crazier I feel for actually having used this product for 3 whole years.

The refill trays themselves are no brainers to set up - simply lift the cat box housing (it's clean...), take the lid included with the new refill tray and use it to cover the old tray (absolutely no smell!) and then put the new tray in the same spot as the old tray and lower the housing in place.

I thought that by having my traditional scooping litter delivered right to my door that my litter box struggle would be considerably less. I was wrong. I could just barely manage getting down on my knees in order to scoop the box, but what I could not do was carry out the heavy bag of scooped clumps and remaining dirty litter in the box or lift the heavy bag up over the side of the dumpster to dispose of it. I also could not manage to wash and sanitize the box every 7 or 9 days as I always have. I was becoming very concerned about the health and happiness of my pets and myself. I worried about the bacteria that was multiplying at an incredible speed, the odor, and more than anything that the cats would either hold their urine or attempt to find alternative places to eliminate because I was unable to properly dispose of their obviously filthy and smelly waste or keep their litter and box as fresh as possible. Enter the fresh scoop box, and WOW has it changed my life and my cats lives! Now when it comes to the litter box, essentially it scoops itself. After 12-14 days I lift the very light housing up away from the disposable litter tray, take the litter tray box top out from under the litter tray which now contains the dirty litter and cover the used litter tray with the clean box top. I then take 4 pieces of inexpensive packing tape or two of giant rubber bands and tightly secure each side of the box. It is amazing to me that approx 14 days of used odor free litter ( produced by 2 cats) is contained in a (after taping it closed) compact, clean, approx size is 25"x15 and approx 2-3" thick (deep),extremely light weight, and in white unmarked box. I can carry the box outside under my arm and can with absolutely no effort at all drop it right into the dumpster. I used to have layer 3 new stretch scented trash bags inside of each other to make a reinforced bag that was certain not to tear with the weight of the used litter, get on my knees next to box and try scoop the very thick, sludgy, wet, and heavy globs of used litter twice a day. The trash pick up is three times a week, because the urine odor attracts rats, I would have wait with an extremely heavy stinking garbage bag with 2-3 days worth of dirty litter until just before the garbage pick occurred to throw out the dirty litter. I would always panic when I had to rush around after hearing the dump truck coming down the street trying to get the very heavy garbage bag outside and in the dumpster before the truck arrived. Many times, even if I could use a small cart to carry the bag out, I just could not lift the bag up into the dumpster. The whole issue was just becoming a HUGE problem and worry for me. I am so relieved and happy to say, that thanks to the technology of scoop free litter box and efficiency that Amazon offers concerning shipping and delivery, I am no longer worrying or struggling just trying to take care of my pets. It is really awesome!! The only downside and I hate to point out any negatives with this lifesaver, is the price. It is really expensive for me now that I am on a fixed income due to my health. I worry about the price continuing to escalate at a rapid rate over time. As for the product 5 stars as for the price I wish that there was a better lower price offered for buying the 6 pack of refills or a refill program or club that the company-not Amazon- offered for a significant savings for consistent consumers. I will say that the best and cutest added bonus of the scoop free litter box system is that the cats LOVE ❤️ to race over to the box after they hear the "arm" mechanism engage, and they wait crouching down until the "show" starts. My smarty pants bengal has figured out how the whole thing works. She will round up her trusty, but less smart partner in crime, step halfway inside of the box and with over exaggerated scratching movements attempting to "set off" the cleaning mechanism. After a few seconds of wild movement, she quickly backs up and out of the box then crouches down with her buddy on the mat waiting for the show to start. Hilarious! I highly and definitely recommend this litter box. This box especially addresses concerns for anyone who struggles daily ( due to health, mobility, age, living arrangements, etc) or simply really dislikes the whole process of lugging home crazy heavy boxes of dusty litter, scooping the box religiously, disposing of the dirty litter, the odor produced from the litter box, and suffering from allergies as well as extra dusting/sweeping around the home due to the dust processed from even the newest scoopable litter.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I have been using this product for over 5 years.

They didn’t follow the steps, obviously. I have a worse cat pee problem than all of you combined and this was the only- the ONLY - product that worked. Just listen. We just moved into this new house with plenty of space for our three cats. The two females and one male are treated with premium respect- each has its own covered litter box in its own location, each receives two healthy portions of raw food daily and at least 4 hours outside. They return eagerly when called. They are seemingly happy and content with our situation. The male cat is not ours, it’s my mothers, and we’ve been watching him for 6 months. When we moved, he began lining one particular wall in my office with urine. Upon further inspection with black lights, there seems to be a size able 1-2 ft wide strip of urine lining the 20 foot wall. There is so much that I am forced to conclude that he couldn’t have done it alone. We learned the previous tenants had cats, and we believe our male is lining this wall to mark over pre-existing urine. This is the only explanation I have, hence the pretext about how we treat the cats, and as a graduate of animal behavioral science I think I’m right on this one. So for the last month I’ve been coming home, sniffing the air at the front door (20 to 30 feet from the urine wall) and dawning my gloves angrily as I get down and clean the urine wall and underlying carpet with every cleaner known to man. I’ve used three bottles of urine gone, Resolve, natures miracle (cat and dog), water and vinegar, just vinegar, just water...I’ve tried scrubbing, stamping, vacuuming, blotting- all to come home to the smell that lingers. I’ve heard cat pee can end marriages and I see why now. Once I read that lady’s review for Rocco and Roxie, I said screw it and ordered a 32 oz bottle, hoping that the combination of enzymes and bacteria could make a difference. Let me tell you, IT DID. I thought the man vs cat pee war was lost, and I had almost given up hope. Problem is the volume. I used the entire 32 oz, let it sit for three or four hours, blotted thoroughly and then vacuumed with our specialized pet accident vacuum cleaner that has claws on one of the heads to penetrate deep into the shallow carpet. The smell is about 90 percent gone. So I begged my mom to buy the gallon for me, (it’s her cat after all) and we’re waiting for it eagerly in the mail. We run an air bnb in the house and we had a poor review because of the odor which was made one day before the original 32 oz bottle of Rocco and Roxie came. I’m hoping that a full gallon will be able to get rid of this. Thank you for making the only product that works.\n\nLee'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Let me set the stage for this long review. I am diagnosing myself as CP phobic (cat pee phobic). This is not yet an official disease but I am working on a patent. The roots of my CP phobia come from my childhood days as does everything else that is wrong with my life but I will skip the details for a book I will later write and discuss with Dr. Oz. Cats were around me in my childhood days and due to absent parents, they peed everywhere and little was done to clean it up. Therefore, the smell of cat pee brings severe anxiety, anger, and anything else that is related to a negative feeling. In 2002, a small kitten followed me into a 7-11. She was friendly but obviously abandoned and probably had her days limited if left in the busy parking lot of this convenience store. So on this wonderful day in the winter, I walked out with a Diet Coke, a pack of Marlboro lights, and a kitten. All three items were destined to deteriorate my health.\n\nFast forward to 2017 and this same cat is still with me. I am almost certain this cat will outlive me and I am only 34. This is the last cat I will ever own. Due to her age, attitude, and possibly her political views, she decided to start peeing on the carpet. I immediately google "life span of indoor cats." I realized I have at least 2 years left but maybe 5 years. I then take this 11 pound ball of fur to the vet to pay a lot of money for a diagnosis that my cat is healthy and a brat. Both of us come home hating each other. The peeing continues. Below is how I handled the situation in which she is still alive and I am slightly more unhinged than before. Several products will be mentioned as I am copying and pasting this review to all the companies who are responsible in allowing this cat to currently live through her natural life with me.\n\nI spent a HUGE chunk of money on the litter robot. I recommend going to the litter robot website and researching this expensive toilet for cats. They have great customer service too. The litter robot is life changing for anyone who actually plans on owning cats for fun and for cats who refuse to use a dirty litter box. Due to my CP phobia, I plunked down the money. Everything worked great until my cat saw me enjoying life. The peeing began again. I put down a plain old square litter box and added "Cat Attract" litter. The peeing stopped. My adorable ball of high maintenance fur now uses the litter robot to go number two and the plain square box to go number one. The "Cat Genie" trash can is a must with anyone who has CP phobia. It keeps the smell down to a minimum and saves on trash bags.\n\nNow that my 15 year old queen is satisfied with her restroom, I am now left to attack the cat pee smell. Putting Febreeze on a cat pee spot is like putting a cute SuperMan band aid on an 8 inch deep gash; it\'s super adorable but we all know I am going to pass out from the blood loss. Attacking cat pee is serious business and requires hours of work, determination, and money. Did I state how I will never own a cat again?\n\nFirst you will need Rocco and Roxie pet stain remover. Just buy the jug if you are battling cat pee. The spray bottle will not be used. Pour Rocco and Roxie on the cat pee. It needs to be a puddle that soaks in through the carpet and into the carpet pad. We are not using a band aid, we are going in and sanitizing this dire situation. As you get the spots you can see, grab a UV light, turn off the lights, and prepare for night battle. Find all the illuminating spots and pour that Rocco and Roxie on all spots. Cat pee is no laughing matter to people like me. After all the spots are drenched, wait it out for a few hours and soak as much up with paper towels. If you use a towel, I feel you are transferring cat pee from one spot to the next. There will be a slight chemical smell. Again, cat pee is not like spilling your tumbler of vodka and soda water because the cat trips you up on purpose. Cat pee is anger and anxiety wrapped into one huge ball which needs strong chemicals to destroy.\n\nIf you are satisfied with Rocco and Roxie, and no odor of cat pee is present, then continue on with your life. If you are CP phobic and can detect a small whiff of cat pee, proceed to step 2.\n\nStep two requires buying Angry Orange. Angry Orange is a smell that cats hate and is actually pretty pleasant to others. It smells like straight oranges. I bought the spray bottle and the concentrated refill bottle. Because I am CP phobic, I put a lot of the concentrated angry orange in a spray bottle and a little bit of water. I grabbed my UV light and went after the spots like the crazy, mad woman I have become. I sprayed all the spots only to have the entire house overwhelmed with the smell of orange. I am pretty sure my neighbors think I have opened a juicing station in the middle of my kitchen. I highly recommend following the directions of using the correct ratio of water to Angry Orange. If you do not follow the directions, not only will you think about writing a book called "James and the Giant Orange" but there will be slight orange spots on your carpet. Which now we can go to step 3.\n\nRocco and Roxie has an OxyClean product. This carpet cleaner gets out the toughest stains including my error of Angry Orange stains. Spray the product on any stain, let it sit for 5 minutes, and then start working on it with paper towels.\n\nAt this point, I am satisfied I have fought a good battle but I am still wary. I have an oreck orbiter to clean my travertine floors. I bought the attachments for cleaning the carpet and also Oreck Dry Carpet Cleaner. I spray the Rocco and Roxie OxyClean product as a mist on a 6 by 6 foot spot and then sprinkle the dry carpet cleaner all over. A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY. I rub the cleaner into the carpet with my oreck orbiter. Wait 45 minutes to 2 hours and vacuum. The Dry Carpet Cleaner gets out stains but it also gets out all the allergens and cat litter smell. I am not a fan of steam cleaning carpets. I have never had success. The Dry Carpet Cleaner is great for spring cleaning carpets or being completely unhinged by cat pee and needing to verify, the carpet is indeed clean.\n\nFinally, after a week, I spray the areas in where I want my cat to never pee on, walk on, and or let alone even look at with the Natural Lemon Aerosol spray. Cats hate the smell of lemons and oranges.\n\nI am now 90 percent satisfied I have won the battle of cat pee. I will not be 100 percent satisfied until I replace all the carpet but that will not happen until my cat crosses the rainbow in which she will probably pee on because that is how she rolls.\n\nMy cat has cost me a lot of money and time but I hope when I am old and peeing everywhere, that someone will take care of me and I will have two toilets in the same room. Did I state I will never own a cat again?\n\nI hope this helps with anyone who has CP phobia and is willing to go above and beyond of getting rid of any trace of cat pee. I wish you well in your battle.\n\nUPDATE AUGUST 27, 2017\n\nHello All,\n\nThank you for all the kind comments. I am thrilled my mania puts a smile on so many faces.\n\nI received a personal email from the founder and CEO of this company thanking me for the review and offering a free bottle on the house. This is a small, family run business and I can not express how important it is to support these types of companies.\n\nSince posting this review, I actually convinced a man to marry me. I clearly missed my chance as a saleswoman because I can sell anything, even a life attached to me and the feline. My cat is going strong and still a narcissistic princess with a special place in my heart and hell.\n\nI want to add a few other recommendations to some of the qualms I have read in other reviews. As you may infer with my post, I am borderline OCD with cleanliness. I do squats at the gym just to master the hover technique over a public toilet. My advice is over the top but it works.\n\nWith any problem in life, you have to attack the source before treating the symptoms. Your decision to own this type of animal is the main source, the actual cat being second with their toilet being the third main source. After having a lot of self reflection on why you chose to own an animal that stalks you as if you were a gazelle and inevitably will latch onto the back of your leg while going for the achilles tendon to bring you down is the first step to solving cat pee problem. Then we move on to see if said cat is healthy and using the litter box. Finally we have to attack the actual cat toilet. Even when litter is scooped, it still holds the smell of cat pee. I change out my cat litter every 2 weeks and sometimes more. This means dumping the entire cat box into a black trash bag and then taking lysol to wipe the interior and exterior. This will help substantially in getting rid of cat pee smell. Again, attack the source, not just the symptoms.\n\nMany have stated they are not fond the Rocco and Roxie cleaning smell. Cat Pee Smell is at the top of my offensive list which also includes items such as robot phone calls to my cell, McDonald\'s no longer frying their apple pies, hair in the shower drain, and taxes. When attacking cat pee, you have to neutralize the chemical composition of this awful smell. The enzymes in Rocco and Roxie deliver this result as best as I have seen. The after smell does not sit well with all. I use Rocco and Roxie with Oreck dry carpet cleaner every two months to clean my rugs and carpets. I admit I tire of the cleaning smell but have found a solution many may want to try.\n\nAfter cleaning the pee and other items out of carpet, grab baking soda and some natural essential oils. I found a box of oils on amazon. Add tea tree oil and lavender to the baking soda. In fact, add whatever smell you would like for the olfactory. Add lots of drops to the baking soda and mix well. Shake this mixture all over the carpet. It needs to look like it just snowed. Get a brush, preferably with a long handle to protect your back, and agitate the baking soda into your carpet. Leave it on over night for best results and then vacuum. If you can\'t wait that long, at least let it sit two hours. Baking soda and the oils are all natural so safe for humans and animals. This step has helped in creating a more earthy and pleasant smell in my home when I do the manic bi-monthly cleaning.\n\nThank you again for all the responses and I hope one day to get a book published. As of now, I just update a file with favorite pics of myself and a pre-written obituary for my husband to publish in case my cat does accomplish her life long goal. Within the three column long obituary, I added few lines about being an "expert Amazon Reviewer". Sounds morbid, I know, but I can\'t trust my other half to use a decent picture of my face or remind the public why they will miss the Unhinged Crazy Cat Lay Who Is Not Fond Of Cats.\n\nKindest Regards,\n\nLLK'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I never write reviews for products unless I\'m completely blown away, or completely disappointed. This product did not disappoint. I had consistent results time and time again.\n\nWe have three large dogs, and our house is constantly either full of fur, dog toys, mysterious puddles, vomit from yesterday\'s trash excavation, or your bi-monthly bout of explosive diarrhea. We just received our second bottle in the mail, which I trekked down the driveway, through the snow to get from the mailbox. You see, our wonderful dogs thought it would be a great idea to get into a giant bag of uncooked rice two days ago. After discovering the empty bag and three plump furry bellies, all PetMD diagnosis pointed to imminent death by combustion, or unrelenting explosive diarrhea. We experienced the latter. Every two hours, we were woken up to the desperate scratches on the door to be let out. One can only crawl out of bed so many times...long story short, we had two shatting incidents in which I thought we\'d have to rip out all the carpet and sell our house. Both times, R&R not only got the stain completely out of the carpet, but it completely removed the house of the ungodly smell of our dogs\' transgressions!!\n\nIf you\'re hesitant on the price, which I was at first, your desperation to remove your carpet of brown and yellow spots will be rewarded by giving this a try. When I tell you this stuff is MAGIC IN A BOTTLE, I\'m not exaggerating. Vomit, urine, diarrhea, butt juice--I know what you\'re thinking..."What the hell kinda dogs do they own?!" R&R got all of it out of the carpet. I\'ll say it again...MAGIC IN A BOTTLE. $20 for magic? Do it. We will never buy another product again for as long as we both shall live. Or at least as long as we have carpet.\n\nOn another note, R&R is also safe on fabrics of all colors. I just tested this earlier when I discovered our 85lb mutt licking his junk on our bed. The spot spot came right out! I could go on, but the house is eerily quiet which leads my dog mom brain to believe that there\'s trouble being conceived.\n\ntldr;\nBUY THIS. It\'s worth the $20 to not have to smell or look at your dogs\' pee, poo, vomit, butt juice stains in your house. Safe on virtually all porous surfaces--including bedding and couches.

We didn\'t know they had done it everywhere and only cleaned the 2 large spots up quickly, and then the stank set in.....Every time we walked downstairs we smelled "that smell" and Heaven help you if you actually walked into the room!! We finally took a black light to the carpet to discover the true horror of our situation, CSI crime scenes had nothing on us! We were now left with all of these 1-2 week old spots that had dried and soaked in explaining the STANK that still lingered.

I liberally sprayed the areas possessed by Satan and waited 10 mins as the bottle instructed. I got impatient around min 4 so I sprayed the areas again moderately and then I really did wait the full 10 mins. I really do mean that I saturated the areas like the bottle says however I didn\'t go crazy with it and totally soak the carpet (like I really wanted to but remembered the price of the bottle so I checked myself before I wrecked myself).\n\n10 mins passed and my bloodhound nose traveled down the hall with hopes high.

I\'m awaiting its letter to Hogwarts as I write this review, and I\'m going to buy another bottle for SURE, you should too!!!!\n\nDISCLAIMER---my situation did not cause staining which is why we couldn\'t figure out the source of the smell beyond the 2 main areas that were wet and did stain slightly.

She had previously had a dog who urinated on the carpet in one area so much that the carpet and pad had solidified to the wooden sub-floor. My husband had to use a chisel and hammer for hours to get it up. The smell was horrific and permeated throughout the house. The urine had crystallized to the wood floor and he was simply unable to get it all to release, so before we left for the night, we soaked 3 old rags in Rocco & Roxie and left them on the spot. The next morning, wow! He was able to scrape up the remaining crystallized urine from the wood floor. Then, that next night, we soaked an old blanket again in the Rocco & Roxie, pressed it down onto the stained area and left it again overnight.

I generally alternate one month with two 20 ounce containers: Salmon and one of the favorite guys.\n\nI have one kitty, Allie that I literally think must live off Temptations. She's very picky about her food. About the only thing she eats consistently are Temptations. Once I was out of town and not monitoring the situation!!! She by herself went through a 30 ounce jar in a month's time. She only weighs 7 pounds - that's almost 1/3 of her weight in treats - which is way too much!!!\n\nOther than the twice-daily small handful that each kitty gets - including Allie - they are fed Indoor Purina One dry food. They free eat. I just put two bowls out every morning. They also get - between the six of them - six cans of canned food. Usually it is Friskies Shreds. Sometimes we alternate with either Fancy Feast (or a store brand version of Fancy Feast) or Blue Buffalo. 3 - 4 tablespoons each of the canned food. Then three almost exclusively outdoor kitties get what's left.\n\nWe have very happy kitties. All of my kitties bless their hearts have lived to grand old ages. They have been very healthy other than teeth problems or occasionally arthritis as they reach advanced age. It's not unusual for them to live to 18 or 20 years old. Knock wood.\n\nI know my cats would get enough food with the dry food and a little bit of canned food they eat... but I like having the treats - especially with the mostly outdoor kitties. I'll go out and shake the jar and I'll come running. I know exactly where they are throughout the day. If we need to go to the vet or it's time for the flea meds I can round them up quickly.\n\nOnly complaint about Temptations are the 16 ounce square plastic containers: I hate those lids. The lid does not snap on securely. If the container turns over on the counter treats dump out everywhere. I usually buy either 20 or 30 ounce bags or large plastic jugs and then dispense into a jar with a secure lid for every day use..\n\nOk - who's who in the photos? Small blue gray is Gilligan age 2.

So, no surprise that my male cat loves these. But also, my youngest female cat (the one from the charcoal pile) does as well. 2/3 cats is a good start for my house.\n\nThe two female cats have feline herpes, so they have to get a lysine treat every day to help control the virus. The male cat gets one too, because he demands it. I keep all my cat treats in the same drawer in my vanity, and they all come running when the drawer opens. After they get their lysine treat, I'll usually scatter a few of these around as well, since I give it to them right before I leave for the day, and it makes me feel less guilty. The cat who doesn't like these gets a piece of freeze-dried salmon. The two cats gobble these up like they are starving, no matter when I get them. Then they all sniff around near the others to see if there is anything left over. There never is, even though they all make a mess of their food. Also, I used these to train my male cat to sit up and shake. It's very cute, and he enjoys the reward, if not the practice.\n\nI like the resealable container.

My dog is has been eating a one a day for the last 7 years of his life, which I figure is a total of 2,500 Greenies. Well you're probably thinking if I've bought that many then they must be great, right? Wrong! My dog absolutely loves the taste of them and has come to expect one every morning after he does his business. From what I can tell the treats are perfectly healthy and don't do him any harm, so he continues to get them. That's about as far as all of the positives go. Greenies claim to clean down to the gumline to fight plaque and tartar and freshen breath. They certainly don't do much at all in regards to any of these areas. His breath always has a permanent fishy smell to it, probably in relation to the food he eats. He has tried different foods of various varieties, but the bad breath continues to persist. I'm not complaining that my dog has bad breath, but the product shouldn't claim to freshen it if it really doesn't. When it comes to fighting plaque and tartar, it definitely fails at this immensely. My dog is only about 7 and he has lost probably about a half a dozen of his teeth already. I'm sure a lot of this has to do with just some dogs being more susceptible to having bad teeth, just like with humans. But eating a Greenie every single day has done absolutely nothing in terms of combating the degeneration of his teeth. Just as a comparison, my parents have two other dogs that eat a Greenie every day as well. Both dogs also have that persistent fishy smelling breath.

I have small dogs . They LOVE them . One of my dogs (Pekingese , almost 4 yrs old) really loves her greenie treats and so I was breaking the teenie size (got both regular and weight maintenance bags) into smaller pieces and giving them to her as little bits throughout the day after going potty, after a walk, or as a treat otherwise . The equivalent to 1, sometimes up to 2 teenie size greenies per 24 hours or so . Not every day , but often and consistently throughout the week . For about 3 years . Noticed some green poop as a result often , didn\'t seem like a big deal , and healthy happy dogs otherwise . I give them to our other dog too, who is a senior . But I started noticing bloating in our one dog who eats the greenies nearly daily , and some other bowel issues, not really realizing the cause of the issue or how bad it was going to get . Then recently I noticed some bright blood with her poop, which was obviously alarming . But it seemed to be a one time deal . Fast forward one week later ....Shes restless at night , seemed to be wanting to whip around and bite her back legs suddenly , like some mysterious thing was going on that was bothering her. I realize now it was from stomach pings and pangs I guess . Then I noticed she was in obvious discomfort, she\'s got a lot of fur , so I didn\'t realize she was as bloated as she was . Vomited her dinner . Bloody poop again. Next morning she cried out when I touched her sides or tried to pick her up , and suddenly couldn\'t jump up on things , and by the time I got her to the vet that day , she was even having trouble walking like her back wa ms hurting her (this all being symptoms of pancreatitis) . Took her immediately to the vet ....Vet X-ray showed lots of painful gas in her intestines , and pancreatitis inflammation of her poor tissues (blood work still good, fortunately) It was very painful for her and I realize now that she probably was having a lot of those symptoms over a longer period of time from trying to process the greenies , but since it was not acute or obvious , I missed the signs and discomfort she was experiencing . She had to have meds for immediate relief and recovery of the stomach and bowel inflammation , bloating, bloody poop etc. As a result, I really scrutinized her total diet ....and I cut all the greenies out ....that\'s the only change I have made ... NO more greenie treats. The only other treat she got much less often was another garbage treat that\'s a "digestible" rawhide called Dreambones which I\'m also very suspicious of , as it has similar ingredients to the greenies. No more of that garbage either . If I don\'t make the treat myself , then I don\'t give it to her . So I have a big worthless bag of leftover Greenie\'s now . I don\'t even in good conscience feel like I can donate it . What if thry harm some other poor dogs .\n\nMy dog\'s bowels and little system are recovering, mercifully . A truly frightening and painful experience...and expensive vet too. And I always try to buy the very "best" for my dogs with all foods and products (Honest Kitchen , Taste of the Wild) and I thought for a long time that these greenies were a relatively healthy, harmless and safe treat to regularly give . So I will never give my animals these greenies again ...why take the risk??! Cruel kindness on my part . Read the other bad reviews and sad experiences .... maybe nothing will ever happen to your dog , but maybe something bad will . So why on earth would you take that risk. Interestingly , the person in front of me at the vet was also there with a dog (schnauzer) who was experiencing occasional blood with pooping , and I overheard them say his favorite treat was the Greenies and he often had the Greenie pill pockets (even saw them by more from the vet for meds he was going home with) People , like me , just don\'t know the potential harm they\'re giving. So beware .

I took our 12-year-old calico to the vet. She was so sick with a respiratory infection we were syringe feeding her every four hours. Once cats lose their sense of smell they'll stop eating. If a cat doesn't eat more than twelve hours their liver begins to shut down. They require a minimum amount of calories and protein per day based on factors like age and body weight. This past January, my cat was headed towards liver failure if she didn't eat. And, the only thing she would still eat was her Temptations. She has always refused soft food, and that's what vets typically recommend when cats lose their sense of smell. So, I shared my concern with her vet about giving her too many Temptations.\n\nI also explained we fed our cats all-natural food. The vet’s response was interesting. She said what I read about Temptations causing cats to get sick was overblown- inflammatory even. To go ahead and feed my cat Temptations if that's the only thing she would eat. She went on to say that every single cat food and treat is almost guaranteed to have history—mostly recalls—and then issues get inflated and over-circulated thanks YouTube and blogging. Pet foods go through inspection and safety steps. They wouldn't put something so popular on the shelves if it was as toxic as blogs claimed. She pointed out the pet food industry had to be doing something right, because domesticated cats were living a lot longer. Last year, we buried my son's first cat, at 22.

Luckily he's young, in overall good health, and a good weight so the vet said as long as he was happy and hydrated we could fiddle with sensitive stomach foods for a little while before we turned to prescription food.

We thought feeding her high quality food as some have recommended would fix things, but we fed her Orijen, Fromm, and Instinct, all highly rated dog foods, and nothing changed. Antibiotics like tylosin (which was in the original formula of Angels Eyes) work by eliminating bacteria, but we didn\'t want to go that route as we\'d heard that the tear stains come back as soon as you stop giving them the antibiotics and we didn\'t want to keep her permanently on antibiotics. A few reviews here have mentioned FortiFlora helped their dogs with tear stains, so I thought I\'d give this a shot.

If he tries to go for the puzzle before I give him the go-ahead, he gets physically blocked and told to "stay" (he knows stay).\n\n2) No tipping the puzzle.

All removable parts of the puzzle are picked up as soon as he removes them. Mouthing the puzzle and using teeth to pick pieces up is okay, but if he tries to settle down for a chewing session with a piece, both the piece and the puzzle are picked up for five minutes. (He always has rubber toys and nylon bones available to him.)\n\nAfter he has revealed almost all of the compartments (I don\'t count or pay close attention now that he plays with puzzles gently), I say "all done!", flip the puzzle upside down and shake to make sure it is emptied (usually one or two stray bits of food or treat fall out and are promptly eaten), and put it away out of reach.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': ' I\'ve been using this toy wrong all along!

I wasn\'t sure if it was even possible for a dog to figure out something this complex, rather than just moving pieces at random until the food comes out.

It is made to keep a crate trained large strong dog or to crate train a puppy.\n\nBut if your dog is big, strong, and hasn’t been crate trained properly you will destroy the crate and injure himself in the process. It’s not the crates fault. It is your fault if this happens.\n\nNow for the part about the one I received (this is my 3rd). Two have been perfect. The last one was damaged in shipping.

The Purina One did help that problem, but I\'ve since learned that it is too high in [bad] carbs, which IMO likely exacerbated our eldest cat\'s system (diabetes). Most dry food is too high in carbs & not recommended as a primary source of food.\n\nBut I\'ve found several cat health web sites with so many people stating that they had switched to Fancy Feast classic with great success, especially with their diabetic cats because of the amount of protein / moderate fat / low carbs. So I decided to give it a try with our cats.\n\nUntil I can find something better (& more expensive!), this will work.\nOur (rescued) eldest cat is about 16 or 17 years old and only just started insulin (1 unit 2x per day)...my goal is to get him regulated with food only-no insulin.\n\nAs for the dry food, I\'ve temporarily put out three different small dishes to see if they even need/want it during the day (Purina Vet DM / Instinct Ultimate / Blue Buffalo Wilderness duck). The Purina DM is through our vet, and although it\'s supposed to be for diabetic cats (or any cat) it\'s very high in carbs so I\'m not understanding that. Perhaps because the protein is really high that the extra carbs is needed to digest the protein(?)\n\nUPDATE:\nOur cats still love Fancy Feast. We\'ve expanded from these three flavors to other available flavors, but sticking with the Classic pâté flavors.\n\nBut, I\'ve continued to try them on other canned food brands that are considered "better for our pets" (high protein/moderate fat/low carbs) and they just won\'t eat them: Instinct Ultimate Protein / Natural Balance / Dr.Elsey\'s / Purina One Vet DM / Wellness CORE Natural Grain Free Wet Paté / Nutro Perfect Portions.\n\nI will continue to try other brands of canned food, but as long as we can find a good mix of brands/flavors that they like & are high protein/moderate fat/low carbs, that will do.\n\nAs for the dry food to have available in between Fancy Feast meals, I still haven\'t found one single brand/flavor that our cats like & that\'s "good for them". They "sort of" like Instinct Ultimate Protein Grain Free Chicken and Walmart\'s Pure Balance Wild & Free Turkey Grain Free.\n\nWet food needs to be the primary food source because most dry food really isn\'t "good" for them.\nI just need to keep a small dish out for them for in between the canned food meals, especially if we aren\'t home from work yet.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I have a male cat who's 19 years old.

I got a cat recently (first cat ever) and after a ridiculous amount of research, I passed this stuff up and went with Dr. Elsey's Precious Cat Ultra Cat Litter. That stuff is great, too, don't get me wrong. But this is better imo. I noticed the Dr. Elsey's tracked a decent amount, even with a litter mat, but I didn't know any better. There was also that special litter box smell (faint because Dr. Elsey's does a decent job, but still noticeable). Since I keep mine in my bedroom, that wasn't ideal. When my kitty would use the box and cover her stuff, I could smell and feel the dust in the air, though it was supposed to be low to no dust. I thought I had to live with all that.\n\nNOPE. On a whim I tried this because so many people were raving about how little it smells. It has a faint, fresh scent to it that I can only smell when I'm pouring or scooping it. Those of you highly sensitive to smells may not like this, but I'd still encourage you to at least try it. It's a pretty faint/light smell. When I poured it for the first time, I expected there to be a cloud of dust, but there was none. Literally none. I don't have asthma so there's that, but I am usually pretty sensitive to dust and particles in the air and this didn't bother me at all. When kitty uses the box and digs, nothing permeates the room--dust or smell.\n\nSide note: it's also more of a sand consistency, which surprised me for some reason. The litter I used before had larger granules and was 'chunkier.' I like this better because it's easier/less messy to scoop. The other stuff wasn't messy or hard to scoop per se, but just more so than this is."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': "Arm & Hammer Clump and Seal used to be the only cat litter worth recommending without reservation.

You will definitely want to clean your cat’s business daily because damp litter sticking to the cat’s feet should not be ingested when your cat cleans her paws. Now if your cat’s poo stinks it’s probably because of the food she is eating. Cat’s are strictly carnivores and their bodies are not designed to handle vegetables, grains or anything else that isn’t similar to their natural prey. A cat’s intestine is very short and designed to quickly digest meat. But if you are feeding dry or canned cat food full of things other than meat then your cat is going to poo a lot more and it will smell bad because your cat isn’t digesting what it’s body doesn’t need. If you feed your cat just the meat and nutrients it needs then your cat’s body will use most of what it’s eating and your cat will poo only tiny amounts and it won’t stink. CatNutrition.org has resipies for making your own real cat food. Otherwise, you can buy packaged raw cat food or high quality cooked canned cat food at specialty pet stores. Besides the litter box benefits, feeding your cat healthy food will definitely lower the risk of health issues and costly veterinary bills. Some cat’s transition to new healthy food right away while other cats are so addicted to their junk food it may take several months. For finicky cat’s, try putting a little of the new food on the side of your cat’s plate so she will become accustom to this smell with her meals. Overtime, mix more and more of new food with her old food and eventually she will be eating and loving the new healthy food. You will see the difference in her energy level and her coat will be shinny and healthy looking too.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "This stuff is awesome! I couldn't be happier with a cat litter, and I've tried most of them. If only I had tried this when it first came out. I have been suffering through one lousy cat litter after another, putting up with extreme dustiness, lousy odor control and high tracking. While this new litter still gets tracked, it is a very fine litter and the tracking isn't as bad as some others. The way the formula is, it is easier to sweep up anything that is tracked than any of the other litters I've used. I don't think there is a litter in existence that wouldn't get tracked though, as there is no way to keep it from getting stuck in the cats' paws and falling off after they leave the box. The Clump & Seal cat litter seems to be dust free, reducing my need to dust the house constantly. It is a very soft, fine formula that is super easy to scoop. It's easy for the cats to use. It has superb odor control without excessive perfumes. Once it has been poured into the box, the litter itself is lightweight, sifts extremely easily and little is left behind, if any, when scooping. Urine is completely sealed in balls that are super easy to scoop and not at all messy. It doesn't run down and stick to the bottom of the pan like many other litters do. I'm very impressed with this. Since I have 4 cats, they go through a lot of litter. I usually have to buy 80 lbs at a time. My biggest complaint about this otherwise awesome litter, is how extremely expensive it is. I bought the 40 lb box. I think the Clump & Seal was somewhere between $21.99 and $24 -- something. That makes it hard to afford. I bought another kind of litter, Dr Elsey's, to test simultaneously in a different litter box in another part of the house. It was only about $10.49 for 40 lb. While the cats seem to love Dr. Elsey's, and use it more heavily even than the Clump & Seal, it is heavy, tracks a lot, the grains are large and coarse. It is hard to scoop, and doesn't seal when it clumps, like Clump & Seal. As a result, it sticks to the bottom of the pan, and it is a struggle to scoop it out, as you have to scrape it off the bottom and it sticks really hard. The benefits of Dr. Elsey's that compare to Clump & Seal, are its lack of dust and pretty effective odor control without a lot of perfume. However, even considering the price of the Clump & Seal, the benefits outweigh the expense. Because it is so effective, it wastes very little litter, and it tends to go farther, and last longer. So, I think that it may end up being just as, if not more economical than some of the cheaper brands that get used up so quickly, or have to be thrown out more often due to their ineffectiveness and poor odor control. I will definitely buy this again."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': "They officially ruined this litter.

This has been gradual but officially it is terrible. The silver colored version had a fresh scent and you could have the litter box anywhere and no one could smell it. In transition it would have an ok scent, not as good and the color of the litter got darker, but it still covered the smell. NOW, even darker color and it is NOT MASKING THE SMELLS! This is so so upsetting. I am livid. This is such a terrible change. I don't know if this is bc it's through amazon or a general change but it is TERRIBLE.\n2) clumping: used to clump well, now it sticks everywhere and has a goopyness to it. unfortunate\n\nI cannot stress enough how much of a departure this new litter is from what it used to be. I am now researching other litters bc this is terrible. The litter used to be amazing, I would rave about it. Now it is garbage.

It\'s 17.49 everywhere - almost like it was price-fixed at the end of 2017 across the board on Amazon, Chewy and Pet Smart.\n\nThis a review for the Arm and Hammer Clump and Seal so I\'ll get on with that but you needed to know what changed my mind to use this product and not Dr. Elsey\n\nPro\n-Very fine consistency, almost like coarse golf course bunker sand. That means it sifts effortlessly which reduces dust because you don\'t have to shake the litter sifter.\n-Comes in a cardboard box with a strap handle, NOT a plastic bag like Dr. Elsey. That makes Clump and Seal easier to transport, store, pour and the packaging is cat proof. I have to leave the Dr. Elsey litter in the Amazon shipping boxes to cat-proof them in my house. If you take the Dr. Elsey litter out of the box, it looks like you\'re storing sand bags and the 40 pound bags are really hard for my wife to handle\n-Clumps well and doesn\'t "epoxy" itself to the bottom of the litter box like Dr. Elsey litter.\n-The "tracking" of the litter by my cats outside the litter box has dropped 75% since I changed from Dr. Elsey litter. The Dr. Elsey litter turns to glue when it gets remotely damp and it sticks to the cats feet, the Arm and Hammer does not hence the great reduction in litter outside the box\n-Cleans up far easier than Dr. Elsey. When it\'s time to change and was wash the litter box, the finer granules of the Arm and Hammer product are easier to remove from the litter box and they don\'t glue to the box when damp like the Dr. Elesy product\n-I can go three weeks between litter box washing. I clean daily (2 cats) and add new litter as needed but the Arm and Hammer product does not smell at all after 2 weeks. That fact makes the Arm and Hammer product cheaper than Dr. Elsey.\n\nCon (not really "cons", more like observations about other customers "cons")\n-Many of the 1 star reviews are about the odor of this litter. It has an odor but it\'s not bad. It\'s better than the smell of cat crap. But if you are odor intolerant, you might not like this product but it doesn\'t bother me\n-Clump and Seal appears pricey. I only buy it when I can get a coupon deal because $24.99 IS pricey. Knock off $2 and add in the fact that you can use less of this product than Dr. Elsey due to the smaller granule size and it\'s about the same price as the now "price-fixed" Dr. Elsey litter.\n\nIn summary, I\'ll continue to use Clump and Seal based on my feature/benefit summary above. Your experience may vary.

That is amazing, trust me it's never happened with any other litter..\nIt's not dusty but it does track some. I haven't found a litter that didn't. It is more of a sandy type of litter which seems to track easier, but it clumps better. I use a litter mat and that contains most of it. Also, this doesn't stick like glue to the box, Tidy Cats is the worst for that. The clumps lift out easily.\nNote FYI: This is the Platinum Multi Cat not the regular Multi Cat.

He just turned twelve this year, and I have been afraid he may develop the notorious Lab hip problems, so I have always kept a close eye on him.\n\nAbout 3 months ago, Duke started having problems with stairs. When we would go upstairs to bed, Duke would pace back and forth, hesitate at the bottom of the steps and whine before finally coming up the stairs; he was in pain. It broke my heart. Some nights he stayed downstairs, and I know he didn't like being away from us. He also started sleeping on the bathroom tile during the day, I think the cold felt good on his sore joints.

The solution to all pet odors EVER!!!!! I moved into a rental, but could definitely tell there had been a cat here before us. Sorry cat lovers, they are cute, but they can smell bad if not properly cleaned up after, and I’m seriously allergic!!! So, I knew I had some scrubbing and massive cleaning ahead of me so that I could live here. I saw this had great reviews and decided to start with this one and then had some stuff to try after this since NOTHING gets rid of cat smell all the way. I bought the concentrate too so that I could basically bomb the entire house and then come back the next day to try scrubbing or whatever I had to do next. I sprayed the baseboards of the entire house, which took the whole bottle and some of the next bottle I made from the concentrated stuff. It was just starting to turn into the orange grove that people talk about and my neighbors probably craved orange juice all night. But the next day I came back and it was like a new house!!!!!!! OMG! It was like magic!!! The smell was gone from every room except the downstairs bathroom which I figure is the scene of the crime...the litter box location!!!!! I sprayed that room as though I was cleaning up evidence from a horrific crime and got the door jamb really well...the entrance to the lair. I know...it is unreal, but the smell is GONE. As in NOTHING!!! No cat was ever here! I wiped all of the baseboards to get any residue off...a little orange on the rag, but it didn’t damage anything. And moved in! I am seriously so so happy!

The product was sprayed and scrubbed well into some carpetting in a spare room of my apartment. The cleaner had air dried thoroughly for about two hours before my animal came into contact with it. Not much longer after the fact he was found under my sofa with a bloody nose and crossed eyes, limp and fatigued. His claws were brown, his white furry cheeks were flushed, and he had a high fever.

He\'s had to get his bloodwork done twice since the incident and he has an eye appointment the day after tomorrow. There is a small red line going through his left eye and the vet isn\'t sure if and when it will go away.\n\nBottom line, I\'ve had to pay over $2,000 now all because of this TOXIC $20 product that doesn\'t even publically display it\'s ingredient list on its own website.

These are NOT nutritious, nor should they be fed to any dog. Here\'s why . . .\n\nMy Jack Russell loved this, and for 5 years, we ignorantly fed these to her -- two or three a day -- thinking that they were harmless, and she certainly loved them. Then, one day, during a vet visit, we discovered her teeth were rotting. We couldn\'t determine what it could be because we tried desperately to keep her away from people food and THOUGHT we were doing right by her with her dog food -- and these "nutritious snacks". She had 12 teeth extracted that day. We didn\'t know then what we know now. Soon after, when we got our German Shepherd puppy, we were told to be very careful what we fed him, so we started reading labels, something that didn\'t register as important prior. Guess what we found on THIS label: THE THIRD INGREDIENT IS SUGAR. Nutritionists have long stated that the first 3-5 ingredients in a product are it\'s primary ingredients. SUGAR!!! I\'d never buy products for myself where sugar was in the top five ingredients, so why in the name of all that\'s holy would I purchase it for my dog. In addition, two of the ingredients are colorants. My poor Jack Russell lost 12 teeth, and I now suspect this is why. If I could prove it was this product, I\'d sue this company for her $1,000 dental bill.\n\nIf you love your dogs, and they are a part of your family, DON\'T feed these to them. Not if you care. We read labels to take care of our own health, so why would we feed our dogs just anything. I\'ve switched to Blue Wilderness.

I LOVE how I can go over a lot of surface area before having to empty the chamber, like an entire couch, something that would\'ve required three or four tape roller sheets or 10-15 mins of vacuuming.

The ChomChom roller picks up dog hair pretty well from flat surfaces and stores the hair in a compartment that you empty out after each use. I prefer this over having to peel off lint roller sheets. I would go through a new lint roller about every two months and it would get tideous to peel off every sheet and then refill each tube so often. With this, you just empty out and can use it again. The fabric material does tend to wear out after some time so you do have to replace it after a while (depending on how much you have used it). I think I'll need about 3 of these a year. (My two small breed dogs shed a lot). Also, something I have noticed is that this roller picks hair off beds and other flat surfaces best. It does not pick hair off clothes so well. I have to keep a Lint roller to do that job. The price of the ChomChon seems to go up and down. As I said before I bought it for $25 and I now see that it's currently listed for about $40.

It\'s kind of nice to have that definitive answer as to whether it\'s working: I cleaned the compartment, rolled the trunk, didn\'t see much difference, opened the compartment - no hair. With the seats, I rolled, saw a difference, and opened the compartment to see that it was packed, literally packed, with cat hair.\n\nSo, depending on your needs, this could be a 5 star life-saver or a total dud. If you\'re looking to roll out the Rottweiler hair from the back of your SUV with coarse upholstery, this is not your tool!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': ' I’m very disappointed!

The trap has brushes facing the opposite direction inside that grab the hair and keep it maintained in the trap. It is easy to clean and well worth the money!

It even automatically removes old versions of their product. They do send the code to your email as well but you can just go straight to your digital purchases section to save time. Coverage this easy to install for a couple computers and your smartphone for a year and under $25? Perfect.\n\nUpdate 2019: I just purchased it again a year later at $26.99 instead of the $50+ everywhere else and again within just a few minutes it removed the older version, did a fresh install and it even carried over the few days from my last time towards the new amount of days protected. Coverage for 3 devices just doesn\'t get more affordable or easier than this.\n\nUpdate 2020: I had 20 days left so I bought this again and it worked like a charm for the 3rd year in a row. Buy it, go to your digital purchase section, copy and paste the key. They even have a link that opens up the site where you enter the key. It took all of a couple minutes and added 365 days to my subscription. I also want to add that running this and a decent adblocker meant no problems at all in the last year so this actually works.\n\nUpdate 2021: With about 5 weeks left on my subscription I noticed the price dropped from $27.99 down to $19.99 for this and bought the digital download code again. It was instantly delivered to my email and appeared in my "Games and Software Library". In under a minute my subscription was extended for another year plus I didn\'t lose the days I had left on my current paid subscription from last year either.

I\'m sorry I made that decision as both Avast and Malwarebytes functioned well and kept my PC protected. Also, I was able to load both programs and a couple other offerings I tested seamlessly and with no issues. Unfortunately, I did not do a pre-test with McAfee and paid for it. It took me over 6 hours of my time and 2 sessions with McAfee support to finally get a successful install. The MacAfee "100% percent, we\'re with you all the way" satisfaction promise is a complete joke. After they gave up on me I had to do a couple hours of research to address the issues they could not help me with. I think that any low level tech support person could have at least pointed me in the direction of resolving the issues I had, but McAfee could not. I had to go through several cleanup and removal operations, (along with some other actions), and load the software as an administrator. What a nightmare. The load on my Mac went OK but the functioning seems to be a bit flakey. Because of the time I\'ve invested, I\'m not going to remove it and ask for a refund.

Close everything else from your screen except Internet Explorer or Chrome that you are going to use to install the software. Both browsers work for me for the installation.\n3.

I finally got lucky, and tinkered - other forums were a bit more useful.\n\nEach product has a single license key - it will be delivered to your Amazon subscriptions. That\'s fine.\n\nBUT BEYOND THAT, it is still managed by Microsoft. You are using Amazon as a 3rd party authorized manager.\n\nWhat does this mean?\n\nYou buy the product.\nA single license key is sent to you.\nThat license key will be added to your Amazon games / software.\nYou activate that license key, and associate it with a Microsoft Account. This Microsoft should be for whoever you want as the administrator for your family.\nThe 6 licenses (yours plus 5 more) are assigned using Microsoft\'s system (you add people, and invite them with their phone number or Email address).\n\nWhy is this important? Because Amazon\'s systems are not going to have a 6-person license key. They have one license key, for one account, that up to 5 more people can associate with. Amazon does not manage the six people - Microsoft does. And this is the important part - I flipped out not understanding this. Hopefully, you will understand this before getting flustered.\n\nNow, Amazon\'s hands are washed and cleaned from this point on...until next year, when you come up for renewal again. Then, Amazon assesses you the annual fee ($100 for Home) for Microsoft\'s continued access. the answer? Simply turn off auto renew, some time before 11 months are out.\n\nWhy buy through Amazon, if this is the same thing you can get through Microsoft?\nThe answer: Amazon occasionally will have specials of "Put $300 in your cart for a $50 gift card" or "Microsoft Office + gift card for the price of Microsoft Office". And yes, Amazon does run these specials at odd intervals, it is a good idea to use Amazon\'s plans and offers.

I wanted to keep the same email as it\'s how you log onto your One Drive, and I bought the new license to share with family and they needed it now. Microsoft said they\'d help me set up on a "temporary" email and when Best Buy released the original email they\'d help me to transfer from temp to original email. Except they lied. When I returned to transfer to my original email they said we can\'t do that. And sent me to Amazon. Amazon said they cannot make that kind of change only Microsoft could They offered to contact Microsoft and help me. They stayed involved until the bitter end. Microsoft said oops, sorry, very sorry. But sorry did nothing for my new dilemma. I said they could at least help me move my data from the old One Drive to the new. They sent me a link! A link which states there is no automated way, this must be done manually. Expect to set aside several hours! The great and powerful Microsoft would not help, I don\'t believe they cannot help. Well I had to move my data because Microsoft kept sending emails about paying for the One Drive space or else. That my data would be frozen until I don\'t know. I wasn\'t taking any chances with what would happen to my data. This was all because Microsoft lied about using a "temporary" email. All I have now is to warn others about how unhelpful Microsoft can be. No surprise there. But you may not know that you cannot change the email account your license is tied to. However I really wanted to commend Amazon as they took the time to actually help me dispute having no blame. Microsoft offered this advice, I could uninstall the software, return the purchase, repurchase the software, have my family also uninstall Office, then start all over again.

I had the 2010 version bought on a disk with a key number and 3 installs and kept it through multiple computer upgrades. But this time Microsoft would not let me reactivate my perfectly serviceable 2010 version when I bought a new computer. The old Office 2010 was perfectly fine, and arguably better.

For me, it did extend my current subscription. I logged into Microsoft, went to the "redeem.microsoft.com" address, made sure my login still showed on that page, and then entered the code. The bad thing about this situation is that not knowng what will happen would make anyone reluctant to buy this subscription on Amazon regardless of price. At the $99.99 price, I would definitely not buy this on Amazon.\n\nSecond, I see that the price has returned to $99.99. The interesting thing to me (and it\'s why I thought that the $59.99 price might have been "permanent") is that the renewal disclaimer just below the purchase price said yesterday that the renewal next year would be at the $59.99 price and that\'s what it says still on my subscription page.\n=========================================================\n\nOriginal "review"\nNote that this is not a review of MS Office 365 but an FYI on this Amazon item and how it seems to work. I was already a subscriber to Microsoft 365 Family and was being charged $99.99 per year by Microsoft. So, when I saw this today for $59.99 on Amazon, it was an easy decision to buy.\n\nIt appears from everything I can see, that you are actually dealing with two different subscriptions; one with Amazon and one with Microsoft. I am NOT saying that you will have two separate subscriptions for Microsoft Office and there is an easy way to fix this when you want to.\n\nIn my case, my renewal date for MS Office is November 18 with Microsoft. Buying this item on Amazon on June 25, I entered the code from Amazon on the Microsoft "redeem.microsoft.com" site and it extended the subscription for one year to November 18 of next year. However, on June 25 of next year I will be charged by Amazon at the same $59.99 rate. Simply put, if I do nothing, there is now a 5 month offset in these two subscriptions.\n\nFor me, I\'m going to keep watching this listing and if it looks like this is a "permanent" price, i will likely cancel my Amazon subscription and buy it again next November so that the timing matches. Either way, if you use Microsoft Office 365 or intend to, this is a great price compared to buying directly from Microsoft.\n\nThere is nothing intentionally decptive in this listing, but it is a little confusing as you are buying an Amazon subscription that you redeem with Microsoft via code for a subscription for Office.\n\nIf you are a new subscriber for MS Office 365, none of these caveats apply; at $59.99 its a great deal.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'If you’re like me you’re going to redeem the code you get and then check the subscription end date.

I always turn off automatic renewal after I purchase, because auto renewal is the most expensive possible way to get a year of Norton coverage. As soon as I completed my new subscription today, I went to my account to turn off automatic renewal. It turns out that the customer can\'t turn it off as they used to be able to do - now I have to "chat" with a Norton rep who will actually turn it off for me - if you can convince them!. And that chat session was a manipulative and frustrating session. One sign that they know how bad it is, is that you cannot copy or save the chat history, so I\'ll have to paraphrase it. It took me seven separate requests to get the Norton rep to agree to turn off auto renewal. First they want to be sure you understand how valuable it is, then after two or three rounds of that, they tell you that if you turn off auto renewal, you lose the virus protection guarantee that they advertise for Norton 360. After that, when I continued requesting to turn off auto renew, even then the rep didn\'t give up on me - "what if I extend your subscription by 60 days for free?" No thanks. "What if I extend your subscription free by 90 days?" No thanks! Now I was quite frustrated that nothing seemed to convince them to turn off auto renew. So buyer beware - when you read the comments from Norton reps (answering user reviews here on Amazon), where they tell everyone that, don\'t worry, you can turn off auto renewal, they\'re not telling the whole story, because turning off auto renewal voids their virus protection guarantee. And the hassle of arguing with a rep who won\'t accept the request is really infuriating.

I still had a couple weeks remaining on it and yet, after I renewed, the expiry date didn\'t adjust to add on those two remaining weeks. I was miffed. Logged on to the Norton site and eventually learned (through a chat session with a rep and also a subsequent call) that LifeLock bought Symantec during late 2019 or 2020 and has a policy of not adding on the remaining days when you renew the subscription. This seems underhanded to me. Anyway, I called a rep and he quickly adjusted my expiry date to include those extra couple weeks remaining on my previous subscription.\n\nBe warned: either wait until the day of expiration to renew or, if you renew earlier, be prepared to waste 30 minutes or so slogging through the LifeLock customer service system to claw back the remaining days.

So I have been using Norton for years. I always turn off the auto renewal option after I enter a new key code from a new purchase such as this one. So given all the previous comment, I decided to call Norton ahead of time prior to purchasing this product for another year. Call went very smoothly, they confirmed that the cancel auto renew option was still there however it will not show if you have already set up non renew from the previous year.\n\nUntil you actually enter the new product key and go through the minor install process to renew, the cancel auto renewal option will not show up. So I had 4 days to renew. I just purchased this product, amazon instantly sends you a link to click and follow the instructions. Or you can do as I did, logged in ahead of time, went to my covered pc and clicked to enter new product key. As soon as I did that, the renewal installation process began. Same as if you woud\'ve clicked the link. Either way. Once I was done and all set up, I noticed that the "My Subscription" button all of a sudden showed up giving me the instant option to cancel auto renewal.\n\nSo in the end, everything worked well, everything was OK and it went pretty smoothly overall. As of now, when you try to cancel the renewal, a pop comes up asking to stay and not cancel and in return it offers you 30 additional days of coverage after 5 days. I have no problem waiting 5 days to set up non renewal after the fact for the additional 30 days. I think their hope is that you forget all about it. I assure I won\'t, however if you are the type that might, then forget the extra free 30 days and set up non renewal right away.\n\nHopes this helps to clear everything up and calms everyone down with the freaking out reviews. Trust me, I would be the first to go nuts on Norton if I couldn\'t do this. I would go to another protection provider, but I like Norton and everything went well.\n\nFinally I want to let everyone know that on the phone they told me that my additional 4 days I had to renew would stack up on top of the new year renewal, THIS IS NOT TRUE !! As soon as you enter the new product key or set up the renewal, the new year starts as of the day you renew and whatever days were left are lost. So my recommendation is to wait till the last day or 2 before the renewal expires. I also recommend to not make the purchase till your ready to renew right there and then to not risk some kind of 20 day expiration limit that someone talked about in another review. I just did everything all at once just now from purchasing it, to installing/ renewing, to this review. Everything worked well !!!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Beware, this Norton purchase through Amazon is a scam from Norton.

You\'ll see your Norton 360 there. Start the activation by clicking it.\n\nOne of the first things you\'ll see is a link to turn the auto-renewal off. If you do that you\'ll avoid a lot of the problems others have had with the other Norton 360 products with auto-renewal. If you have Norton account it will ask you to sign in, if you don\'t have a Norton account you can register one. Since I had one, I just signed in and it took me to Norton\'s website. It sent an email to me with the link to redeem the license. I clicked it and it took me to my Norton account where it showed the Norton 360 for 3 devices. There\'s a hard to see (at least for me) download button. You click that and it asks if you want to download it to the machine you\'re using. It also had the option to download it to another machine or device. I clicked download to the computer I\'m using.\n\nNow comes a strange problem. Downloading with my browser gave me a non-executable file called "downloads". I let my download manager download it instead and it was the Norton 360 exe file. No idea why the browser wasn\'t downloading an exe version. Once downloaded, it started installing and took maybe 2 minutes. From there, your choice on this, I ran the Live Update and it did update further, taking maybe 2-3 minutes.\n\nThat was it. Installed, no auto-renew and works just like my previous Norton software. I hope the above part is helpful for those that tend to complicate matters.\n\nOne thing I do see as a negative with Norton and it was the same way last year is the insistence on popping open a new tab in my browser to add all their extensions to my browser. There\'s probably somewhere to turn that off, but that part is still just a little annoying. It only does it ever so often (once a month or so).\n\nOtherwise, this package for the cheap price seems to be perfect for anyone with 3 or less devices.

1,155 | McAfee AntiVirus Protection 2022 | 1 PC (Windows)| Antivirus Protection, Internet Security Software | 1 Year Subscription | Download Code | Software | #20 | 5,512 | $14.99 | [{'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I'm not sure what is going on with all the negative reviews posted on this product, claiming bogus codes and 3rd-party installers, so this is just a confirmation that all is working as intended:\n1. Buy the product\n2. Wait for a confirmation email from AMAZON that your order has processed -- that email will also include your Activation Code and the McAfee website to get your product installed (or extend the expiration date, as in my case)\n3. If you have ANY OTHER ANTIVIRUS SOFTWARE installed (i.e. NOT McAfee), use your program-uninstaller to deactivate and remove it, then re-boot your PC, PRIOR TO STARTING the McAfee activation process. I suspect many of the negative reviews stem from people skipping this -- any legitimate anti-virus program will have built-in security to stop almost all other programs from just uninstalling it, so YOU have to do it (unless it is McAfee to begin with -- their website knows how to uninstall THEIR own software)\n4. Let McAfee install, period. You're done and have basic anti-virus protection.\n5. If you want to supplement your protection with an additional FREE program, I'd personally recommend the products from Advanced SystemCare. They have paid versions of all their products, but they also offer FREE versions of all of them as well. And these work alongside McAfee quite nicely, I've found. And no, I do not work for or benefit in any way from Advanced SystemCare for stating this -- just came across their products years ago and have used them ever since.\n6. After and during the installation of McAfee, it will ask you to set up Auto-renew. The 'pro' is that this gets you FREE support in the unlikely event your PC does get a Virus -- McAfee will work with you to get it removed, at no additional cost to you. The 'con' is that this sets you up for a RIDICULOUS renewal charge ($40 this year) when your subscription is 30 days away from expiration. If like me, you forget about this con and get charged, you can get a refund within 60 days, so it's not a huge deal. And you'll want free support if you DO get a virus -- happened to me about 6 years ago and was a nightmare, but professionals can diagnose and fix it pretty easily.\n7. NEVER take a renewal-price from McAfee directly -- they're a company, and like all companies, they want to maximize profits. So they're betting on 'hooking' you with any easy auto-renewal, charging you an outrageous fee ($40 currently), and hoping you're too lazy to want to challenge any of it. Get your refund, then shop the web, and find the exact same product (from Amazon for JUST $5, in my case), and smile :)"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "After reading some of the reviews I was actually a little nervous about this purchase. My computer came with a 3 month trial of McAfee with a renew price of $60. Well, that is awful.

Now again, I had already been running McAfee on my computer but I had zero issues with the installation and now, about 15minutes after purchasing it, I have another year of McAfee up and running. For what it's worth, my guess is most of the issues people had stemmed from, if they were previously using a different brand of anti-virus, they didn't manually uninstall it prior to attempting to install McAfee. If you were already running McAfee, the installation removes the old version automatically. I hope that helps.

The installation process is the biggest complaint I have.\n\nI purchase the PC download version and Amazon has only 3 steps listed to install it. Those instructions aren\'t even close to the number of steps you have to go through. Every year I struggle through the same process of trying to remember how the heck I managed to install it the year before. Here\'s what I did.\n\nFirst, I have to be on my PC. Next, I have to open up my Amazon account on my PC desktop, go into my account and download it from there. It will ask you to save it (do this) and then it downloads. This year I had to do that twice before it worked. Then you open up the dowloaded file and it asks you another question, something about "do you want to run this". It tries to prompt you to answer No, but you\'re supposed to hit Yes. Then it installs and pops up a bunch of windows showing its doing its thing. You may have to minimize the Amazon screen to see this. Finally a Turbo Tax icon will appear on your desktop. From there you can open up the program and somewhere it will ask you to type in the code. The code can be found in your Amazon account where the download button is. Its a bunch of letters and numbers. Then Turbo Tax does a few more things and then it\'s ready to go. If you already have an account with TT, enter your password, etc. If not, you can set up an account. (Can\'t exactly remember at what point they ask you to do this, but the option is there. Like I said, this isn\'t a simple 3 step process and next year I\'m writing it down step by step).\nOnce in the program, it will give you an option to import all of your info (name, address, etc) from the previous year\'s tax return. This makes things easier. It also offers updates if you purchase this ahead of time like I did. I wanted to save $20 so that\'s why I got it early during the Black Friday sale.\n\nWhile I\'m not the most computer savvy person out there, I can still manage get this installed using a few choice words thrown in along the way. I wish they gave actual step-by-step instructions, but I guess they figure we all know what we\'re doing. We don\'t. I wish they\'d fix that because I know I\'m not the only one out there that has limited patience with this stuff.\n\nOne thing to note. Amazon doesn\'t offer refunds on this and I\'m guessing Turbo Tax tech support might be a hassle, so carefully consider that before you buy it.

Who knows if it's e-file? Costco is selling TurboTax for $50 too, but they use a third party IT company named Synnex to fulfill your digital download order.

I have a Samsung SSD and it installed in about 30 seconds. When you register the software, you don't have to tell them how you prepared your taxes last year and where you bought TurboTax this year. It found my previous TurboTax info without needing any input from me.\n\nI would prefer that our government calculate the taxes for most citizens like European countries, however the IRS would need more funding to do this.

By doing a clean install and only filling out the worksheets I actually needed I got a better more accurate return.\n\nThe earlier you start using TurboTax i.e. in Nov/Dec of the prior year the more forms will not be complete but the program should put you in the ballpark if you need to make another estimated tax payment or pay another mortgage payment before the calendar year is up. By the time Jan rolls around more updates make the program more usable. I think QC is lacking as the Jan 20 update shut me down completely and I had to wait for the Jan 27 update to have a working program again.\n\nLucky for me I run Windows in Virtual Machines so its really easy to backup/restore the entire Virtual machine from the command line in Linux using the tar command i.e. 30 minute top. This works great for the few times that a Windows 10 update has bricked my machine hence the reason for wanting to stay in Windows 8.1 for as long as I can but ultimately it's going to be the Win 10/11 show and that's were those backups come in handy.\n\nI changed my stars from 1 to 4 to 5\n\nUpdated Jan 31, 2022 Review\nI checked daily for a solution to the problem mentioned in the original review and there were none. On January 27th, I tried the newest weekly update and surprise TurboTax is working again. What a scare. It used to be that the product was tested better but in this day and we all are also in the quality control business and problems can take longer to solve. Glad this one only caused me to be down for a week, it could have been worse. I am raising my review to 4 stars. If I get to file my taxes w/o issues I'll review the star rating later\n\nOriginal Jan 24, 2022 Review (1 Star)\nUsually I run into very few problems installing the software and using it. This year was going well until the January 20th update. TurboTax tech support states there is no solution to this problem. So I may not be able to use Turbo Tax to do my taxes this year since they are at a loss. What's next? Finger pointing: i.e. it's my hardware, it's Microsoft's fault, it's TurboTax's fault ...\n\nHopefully TurboTax is monitoring the reviews and lights a fire under the problem and gets it resolved"}] | https://www.amazon.com/TurboTax-Software-Federal-Exclusive-Download/dp/B09FW199HB/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 |

How nice it would be for both me – and for you – if I never had to worry about that annoyance again.

When I attempted to authenticate the product via the online method, it stated that my product key had already been used previously. I cried “thief” and “swindler”! However, I found it hard to believe that my product key had been used given its pristine state it had arrived in at the time of receipt and I proceeded down the customer support rep route to see if I could solve the issue.\n\nAs mentioned, I had to scratch the gray covering to reveal the product key (similar to the scratch-off lottery tickets). This at least gave me some confidence that I was the first one to reveal the product code, but I couldn’t be sure as to if it had been somehow previously used by trial and error by someone who was trying to ‘fake’ or guess a real key code and just got lucky.\n\nLong story short, I was able to authenticate. But it does require some leg work on your end to fully authenticate. If you don’t authenticate with microsoft (MS), your OS will be a bit ‘nerfed’. I contacted MS customer support via online chat (I believe you can call as well) and I was able to verify that my product key was indeed authentic and had never been used prior to my use and that I had to essentially authenticate offline with the customer support rep who walked me through the process. All in all, it did take another extra 30-45 mins to authenticate via the MS representative, but it got done and I now have a full windows 10 pro install for a fair price.\n\nSo tread carefully if you don’t want the 30-45 minute chat with MS customer support to fully authenticate your copy of windows 10 pro.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "It's a great OS.

Local accounts are available. So, you can have the privacy of Windows 7 with the power of Windows 10. Local accounts were available on Windows 8, but it was less obvious as to how to choose that option when setting it up on install than it is now. Windows 10 is more transparent, but it could do a better job at asking if you want to choose a local account or sign in with MS ID instead of assuming that you are signing in with a MS ID. Stability is close to flawless.\n\nEdge has come a long way, and I'm looking forward to PDF markup capability coming in the fall update. Of course you can use your favorite browser, whichever that is. Cortana, however, is limited to Edge.\n\nSMS phone integration has gotten better, but still limited.

What sold the Ironflask for me was that while it does keep water immensely cold over long periods of time, like the Hydroflask, the Ironflask comes with 2 additional lids and an extra straw all together. I like to use the water bottle where ever I go, and when filled with light ice, it has kept the water ice cold for up to 6+ hours. Hydroflask sells additional lids separately, not all together. Something else that the Ironflask has is a warranty option, which I was not aware of when buying. So if you're nervous about scratches or dings on the bottle, there is that option of a warranty. I have run my bottle into things by accident, and it has held up well. I've also knocked it over and left it on it's side when driving, and there has been no leakage.

The first reason I chose the Iron Flask over the Hydro Flask, is that it comes with three lids instead of one. I know that you can purchase additional lids for the Hydro Flask, but it's at an additional cost, whereas with the Iron Flask the lids are included. Secondly, I purchased the Iron Flask because of the sleek design, they have changed the logo on the flask from painted to engraved, which should last longer than the original design of the Iron Flask bottles, in addition, the Iron Flask is more contemporary, in my opinion than the Hydro Flask (as far as logos). This isn't really an issue when it comes to the function of the flask, but if I'm going to be carrying around a 40 oz flask, I want the bottle to blend in and look professional. Lastly, price, I was unaware up until recently that Hydro Flask offers a warranty for their products, I'm unsure of the details of that warranty, but the price of this flask is unbeatable for the quality and accessories. Plus if the flask is dropped or dented, I'm not going to be as disappointed as I would be if I dropped a $50 flask. There are several benefits to staying hydrated throughout the day and the amount of water we should be drinking depends on our body weight, but I'm almost positive that investing in this flask will increase your daily water intake by having ice cold water (or hot, if that's your preference) readily available to drink on the go, especially in the extreme heat of the Mohave Desert. Feeling better, having more supple skin, an increase in memory, weight loss, and an increase in immune health are all benefits of staying hydrated. So why not invest in a product that is willing to help you do just that?"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I own several Hydro Flasks, I've now converted to Iron Flask. Here are the reasons why:\n\n1. These bottles are just as durable as Hydro Flask, and are of similar manufacturing quality.\n\n2. When I order a Hydro Flask, I only get one lid. Iron Flask comes with three. The lids are compatible with Hydro Flasks (and vice versa) so there's no issue with having already bought into one system and having to buy a bunch of parts to switch over.\n\n3. The cost, for an Iron Flask with three lids, is about half (maybe less) than what I've paid for Hydro Flasks of the same size.\n\n4. (Probably won't matter to most people) The red Iron Flask is a nice standard red. The 'red' Hydro Flasks are more orangey red.\n\nIron Flask, if you're reading this...I'd really like the option to buy a bottle in silver, and I'd like the option (even just on your website) to buy bottles with the flex boot that Hydro Flask offers on some of its bottles.\n\nThe Iron Flask lids do have the same issue as the Hydro Flask lids - if the rubber gasket falls out of the lid, it will leak. The lids are the same quality between the brands, so my Iron Flasks aren't any more leaky than my Hydro Flasks.

I love them SO much I purchased 3 varying sizes... 18oz in Black, 32oz in Plum and 40oz in Capri. They come with two lids - one chug style and one straw lid. Be mindful when unpackaging as the chug lid is found at the bottom of the packaging! I was only using the straw lids but now I am into the chug lid. I like that my mouth isn't touching a metal or glass rim. I favor the 32oz and 18oz sizes. The 40oz is a bit large and heavy when filled, doesn't fit in my car holder and is quite tall, which means it doesn't fit under my fridge's water dispenser. The 32oz is the most practical since it holds a good amount of water, fits under my fridge's water dispenser and *just* fits snugly in my car holder (although I prefer not to use it in the car as I don't want to scratch it since it is such a snug fit). I really love the 18oz for taking with me in the car, on the elliptical or for next to bed. It fits my small hand well and is not too tall. It is my favorite for around the house but it does require more frequent refills. I do not own the 24oz but it seems to be the most popular size based on reviews and I imagine would be a good choice. I have not had any issue with cleaning these or with mold, even though I sometimes let water sit in them for days. I cannot speak to leaking or hot/cold retainment as I have only used these for water and do not mind it at room temp. I also try to keep them upright. Overall, these are the best and most versatile water bottles I own and the dual lids and affordable pricepoint really seal the deal. More colors would be great :) Sometimes you can find a 2-pack of one size at Costco for under $20, which is a steal but I wanted various sizes and have no regrets. Using a refillable, non-plastic, non-disposable water bottle is an absolute must. I am proud to do my part with my Thermoflasks. Hope this helps you choose your size and color!

He couldn't inflict any damage on me even though he is a bodybuilder and MUCH bigger than me. The only problem is that when I sprayed it he was tackling me and so some of the spray hit me. I was probably hit with only 10% of the spray but I can tell you it was TERRIBLE. It was so powerful that the cops couldn't stay in the house for long because of the residual in the air.

After my last tour I took a job as a bodyguard. I am also a patron of concerts and clubs. Suffice it to say I've been exposed to some of the best crowd control in the business.\nYou have about 5 to 10 seconds of coherance (barely) after contact, and after that, your only concern is pain.

There is a 1 in 5000 chance that your device may be defective. Go outside and spray a few lines downwind just to be sure it will not fail you in that critical moment.\n-AFTER YOU SPRAY someone, LEAVE THE AREA IMMEDIATELY. If you stay, your assailant may go into a rage which not even OC spray can stop. If you decide to take the fight to the attacker, then you risk losing your right to self defense and crossing over to getting an assault charge. Just go. When you are safely gone, call the police and inform them of the situation. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT\n-AFTERCARE IS CRITICAL. After you spray someone, you must call an ambulance. If your attacker or anyone who may have been caught up in the spray as well is asthmatic or has allergies you could wind up killing them. That is grounds for a manslaughter charge at least.\n-IF YOU SPRAY YOURSELF, that really sucks. There is no quick fix. Find a safe location and wait it out. Use soap and water to rinse yourself repeatedly and allow air to get to the affected area. Expect to be out of action for an hour. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU ALLOW THIS STUFF TO COME IN CONTACT WITH YOUR HANDS. Your hands are the primary means for spreading contamination, and if you spray your pocket, and then scratch your head, you will know. Also, go ahead and trash those clothes you were wearing, this stuff can contaminate an entire load of laundry.\n\nHopefully you will never have to use this stuff on anybody. It is truely hell.

Sometimes, if they're kids, you can pull down a few sleeping bags and get away with that. But if they're full-grown adults, they're more than likely to groan at that solution. A better solution? It would seem to be an air mattress. You know: It fits in a small area in your basement/attic/whatever when not being used, but you can drag it out, inflate it, and voila!\n\nSo I've had a bunch of air mattresses over the years. Some have been nothing but trouble and junk out of the box. The better ones have been OK out of the box, but never really great. And all of them have required a separate pump. You know the type: The bellows pump. You operate them with your foot. And to blow up an air mattress you're there for a LONGGGG time blowing it up. When you pull the air mattress out of storage at 1am, the last thing you want to do is deal with half an hour of inflation.\n\nOK, that's the background. The pump being reviewed here is different. It comes with a built in electric pump. Now, this isn't some amazing cutting-edge feature. Built in pumps have been available for years now. But I only had one other mattress that had one--and that mattress had a leak in it the first time I used it, so it never actually got used.\n\nTo see the pump in action is a thing of beauty. In fact, so beautiful that I've shared it with you--via time-lapse video so you don't fall asleep yourself. See the attached video. It takes under 3 minutes to inflate the mattress. The pump can also be reversed, and it will deflate the mattress in about the same amount of time (again, see the video).\n\nOnce inflated, this is a very nice mattress--far and away the best air mattress that I have personally ever owned or used. It feels solid all around. You know the way some air mattresses seem a bit like Jello--with a bit of wobble when you lie on them? You don't get that effect there. It's pretty much rock solid. It's also solid on the edges and just feels like a fully supportive platform. It's supposedly rated to 600lbs, which should be enough for any one person, or probably almost any pair of two people. (It's a queen, so it can accommodate two).\n\nI can't comment on the longevity of the mattress--I haven't had it long enough. My experience is that none of these air mattresses are forever, but the better ones will last a few years. That's what I'm hoping for here.\n\nAs for deflating it and putting it back in the box? Forget it. But they do provide a cheap but useable bag to store it in (see photos).\n\nOn the whole, I'm quite pleased with this air mattress and would highly recommend it if you're looking for one. It's certainly the best air mattress I've ever owned."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'This is very well made, has a very easy to use built in pump for adding or removing air, the only down side is that this is actually a bit wider than a true twin mattress and the dimensions are off, we originally were going to use this for a pull out bed so we could have a sleep over with our kid in his room.

I wake up in the middle of the night very warm....in the summer time it's unbelievable how warm I get. No matter how cold I keep the bedroom I always wake up hot. My wife suggested an air mattress......it's a great way to stay cool...and she was right. Your body will never heat all the air in the mattress, which means I'm able to stay cool and sleep great!\n\nMy advice with using this mattress is this....follow the instructions!!! It's plastic, and plastic does need to be handled properly, ie....don't unroll or fill it when it is cold, let it warm up to room temp first. (This is clearly stated in the directions.) Also, because plastic stretches, it will need time to reach it's complete fullness....just like a balloon. Fill it to a nice firmness then sleep on it for a night....this will give the plastic time to stretch out, which will SEEM like it's loosing air which it is not. Add more air after the first night if needed. Once you have slept on it for a night or two, the plastic should be fully stretched out and should retain it's desired firmness. (This is also clearly stated in the directions.)\n\nI did not notice any bad smell or anything...well, it is plastic and there is a plastic smell, but not strong. After a day or so of use, I don't smell anything anymore. The motor to fill the mattress is part of the mattress, and with a flip of a switch it fills up in about 2-3 min. To deflate, you can flip the switch to a different setting and the air is sucked out. I really like how it comes with a little patch, I saved that along with all the instructions.\n\nI wish I bought this mattress long ago.\n\nUpdate 6-03-2021\n\nI have been sleeping on this mattress every night for the past 3 weeks and I love it!!! I only let a bit of air out once since I’d filled it up, I ended up making it a bit too firm for my liking. I placed the air mattress on top of my bed so I’m much higher off the floor than I used to be…making it a bit of a climb to get onto….but once I'm there it’s perfect!! I do not move much in my sleep so I’m not concerned about rolling off. When I do get on the mattress I do not hop or jump…I EASE myself onto it…..it is a balloon after all. Maybe I’m having a good experience because I don’t weight very much…only about 145lbs.

1,173 | Callaway 2021 Supersoft Golf Balls 12B PK | Sports & Outdoors | #8 | 14,482 | $16.56 - $54.99 | [{'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'You can\'t really pay any attention to manufacturer\'s claims when it comes to golf balls. They all say they\'re faster, longer, and have great greenside control. I\'m 47 and a 4 Handicap at the moment, playing from the regular men\'s tees. My driver swing speed is around 92-95 mph, creeping down to the high 80s when the back is acting up. In other words, exactly at the average male swing speed with driver. This usually means roughly 205-215 carry with a decent strike, and totals that range widely from 210 to 245. At this speed and below, golf balls go pretty much the same distance with the driver. The only distance gains I\'ve had in golf (or seen anyone else have) have been through improving technique. Unless you\'re playing a 15-year old driver. In which case you should really get one of these new drivers, because they are amazing.\n\nLow-compression surlyn golf balls like the Supersoft spin less and they go a little straighter and carry further with IRONS. Again: at 93 mph and down, all golf balls go pretty much the same distance with driver. Given the standard deviation in most tests - it\'s a wash. You will not see a benefit from a firm, fast ball until you\'re pushing 100 mph and up. The ball speed might be slightly higher for us with firmer balls, but at 90 mph, that TP5x is not carrying further off the tee. What it WILL do is come up 5-7 yards short with your irons. But with driver - all the same. All the time in reviews I see people writing, "I picked up 10-20 yards when I switched to such-and-such ball!" No. They did not. These people are either lying, or delusional, or have highly selective memories.\n\nBasically, the fast swinger has a conundrum: he (or she - looking at you, Jessica Korda) wants a ball that spins super low with driver, then spins a reasonable amount with mid-irons without flying too high, and is SUPER spinny around the greens. This means a three, four, or five-piece ball that\'s expensive and difficult to engineer and manufacture, and one with an expensive cast urethane cover. Fortunately for them, many of these people are pros and don\'t have to pay for golf balls.\n\nAll the SLOW swinger needs, on the other hand, is a ball that is low-spinning and high flying on pretty much every shot. We want low spin with driver for carry and roll. We want low spin with irons to get more carry. Also, the average slicer (we\'ll call it a fade) is already ADDING too much spin to their iron shots, making them go offline and end up short. And around the greens? Nope, we really don\'t need spin there either. We need to be bumping and running and getting the ball close by controlling trajectory. And stop hitting flop shots from three feet off the green and trying to carry everything right to the flag. For the love of God, I beg you, sell that 60º wedge and learn to use a pitching wedge and a putter around the greens.\n\nAnd the good news is that such a ball is not only cheap to design and produce, it\'s also more consistent from ball to ball. I\'ve played the Supersoft for about a year, and I know what it\'s going to do. No surprises. This new ball feels the same and the performance is the same through the bag. And it feels really good. I\'ll play a Prov1 or a TP5 from time to time, and they feel just fine. But the "X" tour balls feel like rocks to me. Unless I hit it in the middle. Every ball is soft when you hit the middle.\n\nI\'d like to dispel another common myth that gets passed around. Ionomer/Surlyn balls are NOT more durable than urethane balls. The ionomer used for golf ball covers is hard. When it gets scuffed, it gets scuffed badly. And it stays scuffed. Because urethane is softer and more resilient, it absorbs a lot of the impact from trees, wedges with new grooves, and even cart paths. I\'ve had urethane balls that hit a cart path HARD and I could barely tell where it had hit. But then they really ought to be durable for $48 a dozen.\n\nSo in a nutshell, the new Supersoft feels great, does what it\'s supposed to do, and it\'s cheap. And I think the new logo/alignment graphic looks pretty cool.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I am a male golfer in my 60's, generally hitting 210-220 off the tee, and shooting in the mid 80's. I like to hit orange balls, which I can track in the sky and find on the ground easiest. Before these balls, I went back and forth between the previous generation Supersoft and orange Titleist Velocity balls.\n\nI liked the Titleist better off the tee, and would usually get about 10 yards more. But I liked the Supersofts everywhere else, as they seemed to come off my irons with more energy, and were friendlier on and around the greens. I tended to use the Titleists on long courses, and the Supersofts on shorter tracks.\n\nThe new 2021 Supersofts have changed things completely. They are every bit the equal of the Titleist Velocity off the tee now, and I have had to club down with my irons. These things seem to explode off my irons - I haven't hit a ball this far with my irons since before my shoulders wore out. For reference, my average 7 iron hit increased from 135 yards to about 145. The new Supersofts fly just as straight as the previous model. They seem a bit softer on the green though, and I find myself having to putt a little harder to get the same roll.\n\nThe ball seems just a little shinier than the previous generation - maybe a tiny bit less of a matte finish. The dimples seem more pronounced and deeper, though that might just be a side effect of different finish. The surface feel is slightly different too. It's hard to describe exactly - maybe slightly soapy? It isn't unpleasant - not tacky or slimy - just a little different than before.\n\nI couldn't be more pleased with the new Supersofts.

Will buy more for sure."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-3 review-rating', 'review_body': "The golfball itself in my opinion is very good. It comes off the club extremely soft and takes off like a bullet. I have bought the Matte Green, the Matte Orange , the Matte Red, and the Yellow. I am very satisfied with the over all quality of them. The only one I really don't care for are the RED ones. Don't get me wrong, they are still great balls, but the only issue I have with them is the fact they are extremely hard to follow. Once it leaves the club and you lift your head to follow it, it's difficult to pick it up In the air and see where it is going and where it lands. Unless you're playing with a partner or in a group, you may lose more of these compared to the other BRIGHTER colors due to not seeing where it is going. Even the ORANGE are a little difficult to follow some times, but not nearly as bad as the RED. Take my advice and go with the MATTE GREEN, definitely the best choice all around. I am returning the 3 dozen RED boxes and want to exchange them for the GREEN. But not all is lost with the RED ones, they can still be used if you only want to use them for chipping practice in the yard or around practice greens. Hope this helps others when it comes time to buy them."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I was using the cheapest golf balls I could buy on Amazon initially. When I hit those balls, it sounded like I was hitting a rock. However, since they were inexpensive, losing a ball was not a huge problem. In one of my foursomes, a nice guy came over and said I should consider soft compression balls. At that time, I was losing less balls - still not exactly a touring pro. I was a bogey golfer for the most part.\nSo, he gave me a ball to hit and it was this Callaway Soft ball. It went further and it did not make a difference if I used a driver or an iron. It also sounded better. I am getting more distance on every shot now and I like the optic colors because I still have problems finding my ball from time to time.\nIf you are a senior golfer, you will find this ball quite forgiving and it might improve your yardage like it did mine.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I love these balls.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "Picked these up to replace my dwindling supply of Titleist DT trusoft and I must say they play very similarly. Nice soft touch around the green and good feel off irons/woods.

I'll probably keep gaming them in the future."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I been on the hunt for a ball I can call my own and something in the under $30 bracket. I have played Callaway balls in the past and this one had me intrigued. After watching a few reviews on You Tube and reading a few Amazon reviews I decided to give these a try.\n\nI have tried most of the brand names around that price point and a few others like Seed and Cut. The one I have sort of settled on is the Titleist Tru Feel. It has the soft feel and sound I like and the price is right - but I don't love it. The Cut Matte (in the same orange) has a good feel and a similar outer covering to the Supersoft, but the price point is a bit high, especially if you include the shipping fees, so replacing all my current balls would be costly - plus I don't love it.\n\nAs I understand it a lot of higher end premium balls are made to be higher compression with a harder outer cover, that do not over spin when hit with woods and irons, but still have good spin characteristics around the green with higher spin rates. But that hard outer cover also accounts for the clipping sound they tend to make which I am not a fan of. Plus that sound resonates through the club too so the feel is not as soft - at least to me anyway. You can just drop them on a concrete surface and clearly hear the difference - which is my first test when looking at golf balls. The aforementioned Tru Feel has a nice soft feel and sound that I like, so for all practical purposes it is my main ball, and I have a lot of them, but like I said I do not love it and I want to love my golf balls. Well the Callaway Supersoft might just warrant me making one last a change.\n\nBefore I go into my test results of the Supersoft a short disclaimer; right now I am not able to take full swings (doctor's orders) due to a pinched nerve in my neck, so my comments in this review are based on what I have experienced whilst putting and chipping (out to ~60 yards) in my yard and at the range. That said, how a ball performs when chipping and pitching is my main area of focus when I evaluate golf balls. I have never gotten significantly more distance from one ball or another so it is not a factor for me. Now if I do end up seeing some distance gains with a full iron swing, as some other reviewer around my age (66) have noted, I will update this review.\n\nThe Supersoft has a very soft rubbery outer shell - which might put some golfers off immediately. It is a very soft feel in the hands and translates to a similar feel off the club face...which I really like. On the downside, it is more prone to holding onto dirt and smudges than the smooth surface most other golf balls have. It does not appear to be more prone to nicks or slices, but to be honest, I have never damaged a golf ball when hitting it, so I don't really factor that in. Along with the soft feel, the sound the ball makes when chipping is a very gratifying thunk. Edging out the Tru Feel and all others I have tried. I use a chipper around the greens and the ball comes off that club real nice with a consistent roll. So far in my testing it outperforms the Tru Feel in this regard - which is a huge plus.\n\nOn the greens the ball rolls true, which one would expect, but it does appear to need a little more putter speed to have the ball travel the same distance as a smooth covered ball...and it slows down a bit quicker as well. Someone else had mentioned this in a review and I found it hard to believe, but it appears to be correct. Nothing extreme, but it takes a little more of a wack for sure. For me this is a good thing though. I tend to leave balls short so it makes me give it a little more, which works out well since it seems to slow more too - strikes a good balance for me. Again beating out the Tru Feel.\n\nThe other plus is the orange color. I have used yellow for some time, but chose the orange when testing the Cut Matte and really started to like it. It's easier for me to see in flight and when looking for a ball on or off the fairway. You guessed it....the Tru Feel does not come in orange.\n\nI am not at the point yet where I will go out and buy three dozen more golf balls to replace all the Tru Feel balls I have, but I have not been as impressed with a golf ball until the Supersoft. I am a big believer in having only one brand of ball in my golf bag. My short game is good enough that having a consistent feel when the ball is struck or rolls when it hits the green, is important to me - one less intangible IMO. It will definitely come down to one of the two and I suspect the Callaway Supersoft will be the ball I fall in love with.\n\nThe price is right so give them a try and decide for yourself. It will likely be the most unique golf ball experience you have even had."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "So I am 72 and able to crack 90 but over the years have lost distance like everyone else. I used to play Wilson's Duo Soft and I still like that ball for the price and feel.\nI have to say this ball is just as soft if not more; feels great off an iron head and even better off of a putter. I also feel this ball goes a little bit farther than the Duo. For the price, I cannot ask more of a ball."}] | https://www.amazon.com/Callaway-2021-Supersoft-Golf-Balls/dp/B08V9VF6JF/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 |

I read up on foam rollers and the wonders they work so I decided to give this one a shot, since it was highly recommended on a separate website due to its durability and very low price. I went with the 36" roller, as most guides recommended longer rollers for those who are just beginning to use them. I followed some guides on the proper use and on my first use, it hurt like crazy. I had to grit my teeth and swear a lot, but once I rolled off, I noticed my entire back felt limber, if slightly numb. The best part was that the pain was gone, and it seems for the long run. I can sit in my office chair without getting that lingering pain. I use it almost daily now, and it doesn\'t hurt to use it anymore. Turns out my muscles were knotted up and they were tensing up all the time on their own, and this worked out all the issues. I\'ve started using more techniques to isolate specific muscles and it feels great.

A 12" roller would be a little too small for my big thigh and if I wanted to put both thighs and legs on it at the same time. The 18" was the perfect length as I had expected. It is, however, not long enough if you want to use it as a yoga bolster and place it vertically under your back.\n\nI tried the thigh stretch with this foam roller, and it was very firm and pressing the right muscles. I also rolled it under my back from thoracic to lower back areas, and it felt SO GOOD.

They were in need of new water bottles this year and I wanted something that was going to keep their drinks cold and not get condensation all over the place. There are several colors to pick through. Because I was buying 4 at one time, I went through the list and found all the colors that were the cheapest at the time so that I could keep my cost down. So, I ended up buying teal, navy, black, and white. I was also drawn into how many reviews these have and how they are highly rated. I am not disappointed. The kids cups get filled up around 7:15 and when they come home after 4, some of them still have ice in them depending on if they refilled their bottles or not. They do not collect any condensation on the outside so nothing ever gets wet when they carry them around or sit them on their desks. They all came with 2 lids. The one lid unscrews and you can drink it. The other is a straw lid that pops up to drink. I can see how the screw lid holds more of a vacuum, but we use the straw lid every day so we don't have to worry about spilling if they had to unscrew the lid everytime they wanted a drink. I don't think the straw lid causes much of a difference in keeping the liquids inside cold. The cups arrived in a box that was nicely packed and the top of each box had a dot of which color was inside. The cups are nice and heavy. They do not feel cheap at all. The one thing that has happened is that some of the color has chipped a little on a couple of the water bottles. This isn't a huge concern of mine because with kids taking them to school everyday I would expect them to get some wear and tear on them. The color chipping a little isn't ruining the integrity of the water bottle of how it holds up to what it is made for. The other thing is they are not dishwasher safe. I don't know why I thought they were, I must have misread that. Obviously, not a deal breaker because most aren't, but would be convenient to be able to throw them in there. So we hand wash all week and then on the weekends I do a vinegar soak for a deeper clean. I am also pleased with the size. They are big enough to hold a good amount of water without being too big and heavy. I chose to get the 18 ounce ones so when they refill at the water bottle fountain it stops and they have to refill a little bit more into the bottle since a standard water bottle is normally 16 ounces. All in all, I am very happy with this purchase and I think these will be used for many years."}] | https://www.amazon.com/HYDRO-CELL-Stainless-Steel-Bottle/dp/B09GBG54BY/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 |

Of note, I find if you don’t screw on the lid all the way, it loses pressure and doesn’t hold the temperature. Just make sure you screw on the lid the entire way and you’ll be set. The standard lid it comes with is leak proof as well, though I purchased the straw lid separately and won’t be using the standard lid much at all.

It is indeed a top quality product, but I could understand not wanting to pay $50 for a water bottle... Lol. I personally am completely satisfied with this purchase, however.\n-be careful of sand... Taking this to the beach might dirty up the cap. It won't leak or get stuck, but will definitely make it harder and grindier to open and close. I'm sure all bottles have this problem, however. Can't be helped.\n\nPros: so many\n-Temperature controll is basically unmatched. Maybe by yeti perhaps. I will fill this with water from the fridge with NO ice and it will still be refreshingly cold the morning after if not longer. My guess is about 18+ hours until room temp without ice. It seems like a small thing, but having access to cold ice-less water is such a motivator to stay properly hydrated.\n- easy drinking from the wide mouth, great leak resistance. I can throw this in my backpack with my laptop and feel confident that it won't soak everything. Maybe it can be a little too hard to unscrew at first, but that gets better as you open and close it more often.\n- great look. I love the deep blue and scratches don't chip off the color coating.\n-different cap options for drinking straw? I don't use this, I prefer the classic normal cap. But I could see that being useful for many.\n-in terms of quality, it's simply the best one out there. I have tried Bubba, RTIC and Hydrocell, all of which have the same list of cons along with other annoyances.\n\nI would STRONGLY suggest buying a rubber boot for this bottle! I've had it for a while now and dropped it a few times, not a single dent unlike many that you've probably seen. The boot eliminates the metallic clank of sitting it down.

Needed some decent goggles and saw the Aegend brand was a highly rated bestseller. I first ordered the mirrored version of this lens which is essentially identical to this clear version. Was really excited to hit the pool when I received the goggles. Love the strap system on these Aegends which adjust on the back and has a quick release button...my other goggles have a little short strap that adjusts at the temple and it drives me crazy. Goggles are very comfortable and never fogged up during my swim. Nice field of view.\n\nWhat's the issue then? These goggles are perfectly fine and clear above water, but blurry underwater. The blurriness is like a prism effect. My local YMCA has small tiles and with these goggles the tile lines were duplicated several times over. The effect isn't bad and perhaps some may be able to live with it, but it was annoying to me. Contacted Aegend customer service and they asked if I was myopic (no) and offered to send a replacement free of charge including a choice of couple different models. I chose instead to return the mirrored version and rebuy this clear one thinking perhaps the mirrored tint had something to do with it. Second pair of goggles arrived and same thing--clear above water and blurry underwater. Aegend says not everybody's eyeballs are built the same and again offered to replace the goggle free of charge including to their flat lens which shouldn't have the blurry prism effect. I declined since I know the strap design on their flat lens goggle would drive me crazy.\n\nSo in summary--these goggles are great and customer support is first rate. But I cannot give the goggles 5 stars since they didn't work for my eye profile and caused everything underwater to be blurry. Doesn't seem like the majority of people buying these goggles have the same issue though so I wouldn't hesitate buying them to see if they work for you.\n\nUPDATE 2/14/17. I'm revising my review to 5-stars. Aegend once again contacted me and tried to make things right. They had another swim goggles with the clasp on the back like the one for this product but with a flat lens (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MTXI8SV).

They saw the review and promptly proceeded to send me a replacement pair. Fortunately, I was able to try out the pair the very next day after receiving the goggles. UN-fortunately, I am still unable to clearly see out these goggles. This time not because of any film or residue on the lenses (at least that I can tell). The weirdest thing - on this second set when I wear them outside of the water, they are clear as day. The second they are submerged, everything becomes blurry. Back out of the water and clear again - in the water, blurry. Not like there is a film or they are dirty, but more akin to blurriness associated with prescription lenses. I know because I wear prescription lenses and contacts. I was in chest deep water just putting my head in an out of the water while standing there and just couldn't believe my eyes. I literally could not clearly see something in focus 12 inches from my face. I still would not recommend these goggles.\n\n--------------------------------------\nHow can over 7 thousand reviews be wrong??? I hate when i read the bad reviews and think that it won't happen to me. Even given the law of averages, I'm sure to get a good one. Wrong. WRONG! After about 1 hour in the pool, things started to get a little weird under water. It was as if all of a sudden there was some sort of film, can't describe it (looks, but not feels, almost like wax). I tried cleaning them with fresh water, warm water, soapy water, spit - nothing worked at all. In fact, they just got worse. The only plus side is that they fir great, did not leak at all, and looked great. But what good are all of those things if you cannot see out of goggles. The entire purpose of having goggles is to see under water. Seriously, how hard is it to make a decent pair of goggles? My kids' $4 pair of throwaways see almost perfectly and still last after repeated use. Other than a waste of money, there were a complete waste of time since i purchased them to take on a trip and couldn't use them after the first day.

She told me to go ahead and order the sweet sweat stick also, so after my band arrived and I tried out the sample of the sweet sweat gel and decided I liked it (I wanted to make sure I wouldn’t break out or anything before I ordered the stick - all was well for me!) I went ahead and got the stick too. I have been using this product every day at the gym and during my walks for about a week now and it definitely does what it says. Prior to using this, I never noticed much, if any, sweat coming from my stomach. I work out pretty rigorously at the gym 2 hours a day, 6 days a week, and try to log around 20 miles of walking per week in addition to my gym time. The first time I wore this, the removal was so dramatic... sweat poured out of it and onto the floor around me! It was simultaneously the most disgusting and most sexy thing I’ve ever seen... LOL\nI ordered the medium and it fits great. I could have gotten a small, and probably will when I order a second one.\nMy only complaint or thing I would change about this is I would make the band wider - personally I would love if it covered my entire midsection, from my rib cage all the way down to my hips, but since it doesn’t, I have to choose whether I am going to wear it high, under my boobs, or lower, around my waist/hip area. Originally my thought was that I would switch it halfway through my workout and wear it one hour in each location, but so far I haven’t remembered or taken the time to do that. I am thinking about ordering a second one in a small to wear around my rib cage, and continue wearing the medium around my waist/hips.\n\nAlso, depending on what you are doing and how much you are sweating, this can have bursts of leakage ... the first time it happened to me I was doing a fitness bootcamp where there was a lot of floor exercises and standing, bending, laying, hands and knees, etc... at one point I felt a warm gush of what to me felt like an extraordinary amount of liquid pooling out around my lower stomach area and even though I am not pregnant, immediately I had the thought “OMG my water just broke” 😂😂😂 so, if you are wearing any color other than black, this is going to show through.\nPersonally, I only wear black pants or very patterned ones that you wouldn’t notice extreme soaking with, so it doesn’t bother me... I like feeling like I have worked so hard for something and the intense amount of sweat is reflective of that for me.\nI did not take measurements so I’m not sure if I am losing inches yet, but I do feel slimmer after working out with this.\nAlso, several have mentioned that when using this product, they sweat more overall, not just in their midsection... for me this may be a “tiny” bit true... but I don’t believe it has increased my overall sweating enough to really mention it - only in the midsection where the band is.\nIf you are looking to increase sweating in your midsection, this product will definitely do it!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I read a lot of review before i bought this product.

It\'s obvious when they say don\'t rub it in to make sure they is a good coating on your stomach area. Then when your done, take off the wrap and go, wow, look at all the sweat.. The majority of that isn\'t even sweat. It\'s that product breaking down into a wet substance from the heat, giving the illusion of sweat. Don\'t put it on and see how much sweat is there after.

This balm has definitely earned a spot in my gym bag next to these earplugs that help cut down on the noise during class.\n\nI don’t really have any complaints but I do want to mention that the balm is kind of sticky and gummy. It’s not what I expected, I thought it would be smoother but it works. Texture wise it almost feels like vaseline or petroleum jelly when you put it on. As soon as you get moving however, it kind of melts so that you don’t feel it anymore.\n\nPROS:\n- Does a great job of preventing chafing\n- Small and compact\n- No weird smell\n- Lasts long enough for my spin class\n- Doesn’t leave residue on my clothes\n\nCONS:\n- Texture is a little weird\n- The container is kinda small'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2016', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "This stuff saved my beach vacation.

When you first put it on, it feels like it makes your thighs stick more. I was really worried it was going to make the chafing worse, but I decided to just give it a go and I was happily surprised! I applied some to my inner thighs before heading to the farmers' market where I work for a 12 hour day. It was 90 degrees today and there is no air conditioning in this very crowded market, so I was sweating like crazy! Not to mention with my job there I am constantly walking, squatting, climbing, kneeling, the whole bit, so I was moving around all throughout my day. I had to reapply the balm twice because I sweated it off. But it still lasted a few hours and the stick is smaller than my cell phone so it's so easy to hide in a purse or back pocket. As a woman with thicker thighs wanting to wear shorts on a hot day, this product was a god-send. It's hard to explain what the product feels like, but it stops the friction and makes it so much more comfortable to wear shorts and dresses.

1,183 | YETI Rambler Jr. 12 oz Kids Bottle, with Straw Cap | Sports & Outdoors | #18 | 24,777 | $25.00 - $89.99 | [{'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I like this way better than the Hydroflask water bottle.\n\n- hydroflask kid bottle comes with a silicone sleeve that guarantees your water bottle tips over if you accidentally knock it rather than it sliding a little. If you take the silicone sleeve off then the paint starts to chip off. The Yeti unpainted stainless steel on the bottom, so no paint to chip.\n\n- hydroflask handle is just big enough to skip one finger in and then inevitably catch on something and twist your finger off. Not really, but it’s awkward. The Yeti handle is big. Easy for little kids to hold. Easy to clip on to something. And if it falls right can keep the nozzle from touching the ground if you drop it.\n\n- on the hydroflask the bottom part of the nozzle is difficult to access to clean. On the Yeti the side of the bottom of the nozzle is exposed so I’m not worried about anything growing there that I can’t see.\n\n- the hydroflask lid has to be lined up just right or it won’t thread on right. My 5 year old certainly can’t do it. On the Yeti the threads are on the inside of the bottle so everything always gets lined up properly and is easy to put on.\n\n- the plastic on the yeti lid seems more durable. We have damaged the hydroflask lids but the yeti still looks like brand new.\n\n- the nubbin on the nozzle that plugs the air hole when closed is higher on the hydroflask than in the yeti. My friend’s kid chipped her tooth on that nubbin. So the lower the better.\n\n12 oz is a good size too.

To see the silicone piece, open the straw halfway or at a 45 degree angle.\n\nWe have only used it for water and I have tried so many ways to clean it (e.g. toothpick, small brush, submerged in boiling water) but unfortunately I can’t reach all the way in. I’ve also tried removing the spout (which would completely solve this issue) but it does not come off. I really wish this piece came off because everything else about this water bottle is great.

1,185 | Pogo BPA-Free Plastic Water Bottle with Chug Lid | Sports & Outdoors | #20 | 2,961 | $6.39 - $14.41 | [{'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "The problem with many water bottles, is that a lot of companies continue to re-engineer the functionality, possibly so they can feel good about charging prices that are nothing short of extortion.

It's also inexpensive enough, that I'm not worried about losing it, or possibly backing over it with my car when it rolls off the roof, after I left it there while getting in, because I was more concerned about making sure I didn't drop my open bag of Nutter Butters, cellphone, or gun.\nAnyway, great.

There's no weird straw thing to try to clean (and just hope there's no gunk stuck in there!), and both pieces are dishwasher safe. Even better, once the chug lid is closed it is virtually SPILL-PROOF! I didn't believe it at first, since I seem to manage to spill the contents of bottles in my bag on a regular basis, so I gave it a shot. Once closed, I can put the bottle upside-down or on its side in any direction, and not a drop leaks out. Of course, if the cap comes undone that's a different story, but if I toss this into an open bag that I'm just carrying to and from work it stays shut and my bag stays dry. No promises if you put this into a backpack and then forget about it while doing vigorous athletic maneuvers, though.\n\nThe hash marks on the front of the bottle make it easy for me to see how much water I've had so far for the day. It lists both ml and oz, up to 32 oz or 750 ml. (Remarkably, the same liquid volume as a bottle of wine. Just sayin'.) This size is my favorite because I don't have to refill it as often to meet my water goals. (I have one of the smaller ones as well, which I keep by the bed for sipping at night.) The fun colors don't hurt, either, and the thumb loop is perfect for carrying while the rest of your fingers are attached to your phone.\n\nBPA-free is kind of a big deal, too. I had stayed away from plastic for a long time because of it, and my favorite bottles were stainless for a long time. I still love those, but they conduct heat and cold easily and there's no way to see how much liquid remains.\n\nI've heard that these aren't drop-proof, either cracking or losing their spill-proof-ness, but so far I haven't encountered that problem.

The plastic ones shatter when dropped, the metal ones dent when dropped, and they're all just so easy TO DROP. And the LEAKS! I can't even tell you how many puddles I've caused from toting my water bottles around with me on the daily.\n\nI bought this water bottle for one reason: the PRICE. I was not looking for a good water bottle at the time, I guess because I stopped believing they were out there in the world, so I bought a cheap one assuming that it would have some kind of design flaw or break when I dropped it in a couple of weeks. I was WRONG! This is, hands down, THE BEST WATER BOTTLE I HAVE EVER OWNED. I have had it for over a year now, and I tote it with me on the daily, always on the move walking from class to class on a large outdoor college campus.\n\nThere are THREE things that make this the best water bottle in the world:\n\n1. It is HARD TO DROP, even for me! I just hook my finger through that little bendy hooky thing up top, close my fist, and that sucker stays on me! I walk everywhere with this thing, and when I'm holding it through the loop, it is basically UNDROPPABLE! When I'm drinking from it, the little hand indentation up at the top of the water bottle is a very comfortable fit, and even when the bottle is full and heavy, it feels very balanced.\n\n2. WHEN I drop it, it DOESN'T BREAK! Let's face it: I am forgetful and clumsy. There are times when I don't hold the bottle the undroppable way. There are times when the bottle is sitting on my desk and I accidentally swipe it off. There was even this one time when I threw it into the air and then failed to catch it. But through all these drops, this bottle has not cracked yet. And a couple of my drops have been when the bottle was fullish. That being said, I haven't had TOO many major drops (thanks to the bottles undroppableness) so I wouldn't try pushing your luck with this one. But alot can be said just from the fact that this bottle has survived a year of daily use with ME, a certified water bottle destroyer.\n\n3. IT DOESN'T LEAK! This bottle has something that's hard to find these days: A TOP THAT ACTUALLY WORKS! I have NEVER experienced a single leak with this bottle - NOT EVEN ONE! I throw my bottle into my bookbag all the time, with precious lecture notes and expensive textbooks, some of which are rented and must be returned, and I can do so with FULL CONFIDENCE that my water bottle will not leak on them! I'm not talking the side pocket of my bookbag, I am talking in the main zipper with all of my other stuff. I make ZERO EFFORT to be careful when the bottle is in my bookbag. All day long that bookbag bumps into desks, walls, people, gets turned upside down, gets thrown on the floor, sat on, turned upside down, etc. This sucker doesn't leak.\n\nAnd that's it. THREE things that go into making the PERFECT WATER BOTTLE. This water bottle also has the added benefit of having a killer price (I was happy to pay the price I paid for it even when I was still assuming it was nothing special). It also holds 40 ounces of water, which is kind of a large amount of water compared to most water bottles. I bought this bottle with ZERO EXPECTATIONS, and it has turned out to be one of my favorite buys from Amazon to date. It definitely sparks joy in my life! Thank you, Pogo water bottles.

I ordered 2 water bottles in my favorite colors to keep one chilling and other handy with ounces marked clearly along the side to ensure I'm drinking enough daily for proper hydration. Once the lid is screwed on, the inside removable rubber ring ensures a tight leak proof seal (why not recommended for carbonated beverages) and there's also a removable, leak proof rubber stopper within the flip top for straw use too. I love the one finger flip top, which keeps my water free of dust, clean and safe from accidental tip spills. The mouth sipper is just the right size for tip and sip and with a bottle brush (I purchased a no scratch long handle silicone bottle brush) daily soap and water handwashing is a breeze! Being a fan of Diet Coke, I got these water bottles to encourage drinking more water and also use with my favorite flavored on the go powdered drink mix, which also easily rinses from this cool water bottle. I purchased a reusable Jamba Juice tumbler that has a long reusable straw & perfect height to use the straw top option of this bottle too.\nThe only con would be I wished a clear bottle was available for not only the summer eye appealing appearance of cool ice water or sipping ice tea with lemons, but various powdered drink mix colors. However, that's just being personally nitpicky and nothing negative about the truly beautiful jewel tone colors, which are exactly as shown in product advertising pics. Of the water bottles purchased before, these easy to hold, clean, leak proof beautiful clearly marked ounces are my favorite and fantastic value for the quality! There is a rubber finger hold ring, which could be attached to a bag and makes carrying several things at one time convenient, although I only use it to pinky hold the lid, while adding more ice in the bottle.

I also had one smaller 18 oz bottle like this, which I was using for beverages like iced tea and cold brew coffee (these aren\'t intended for use with hot beverages). I love that these are shatter-proof and spill-proof, making it easy to tuck them into my work bag (and keeping my stuff safe from spills).\n\nI bought two more of the 18 oz size, though, because, after hunting for the perfect smoothie bottle, I realized I already had one! I\'ve been making daily smoothies, so it\'s important that my smoothie bottle be: wide-mouth, spill-proof, easy to clean (in the dishwasher), shatter-proof, and transparent, so I can see how full it is. With most smoothie bottles, I have to also use a straw - so I don\'t dump the whole thing down my shirt while trying to drink it - and I prefer reusable over disposable straws, which are better for the environment (and the animals!). But have you ever tried to clean smoothie (and chia seeds!) out of a straw 8+ hours later because you\'ve been at work and don\'t have a straw / pipe cleaner brush? Let me tell you: It\'s the worst!\n\nBut these wide-mouthed, shatter-proof, spill-proof, dishwasher-safe, transparent bottles also have a built in "chug lid", which is almost like having a super-easy-to-clean straw attached directly to the bottle! The chug lid is wide, so you still have to tilt the bottle toward you if you\'re drinking an extra-thick smoothie, but it still prevents any over-pour that might happen from an open cup.\n\nWhen I get home, I rinse the lid and bottles, then soak the bottles in a bit of soapy water before putting them both in the top rack (if they fit) - or the bottles in the lower rack and the lids in the top rack. If I choose to hand wash them, a regular bottle brush works perfectly, too. And no straws to wash, ever! Not to mention, these are shatter-proof and almost certainly will never break in my commute to-from work, tucked into my work bag with their spill-proof lids!\n\nI\'ve found the perfect smoothie bottle for work! YAY!'}] | https://www.amazon.com/Pogo-BPA-Free-Plastic-Water-Bottle/dp/B09S5DN4GP/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 |

The bands have been working very well, come with 5 (many only had four), and seem to be a quality product at a great price.\n\nFor those new to working out with resistance bands I’ll offer a few pieces of advice. First, these bands were a bit too long for my wife’s legs. If you have skinnier legs you’ll want to look for 9” loops, rather than 12” like these are. That will ensure you’re getting a full workout for the full rep. My wife had slack in hers and wasn’t getting a full workout (almost like cheating). For me they worked just fine as far as fit goes. My wife purchased another smaller set.\n\nBand rollup is always an issue with any bands. This can be very frustrating if you’re doing a high intensity interval training like we are and you have to stop to unroll a band. This didn’t happen in the beginning, but as I use these more they seem to occur fairly often. Again, this will happen with all bands.\n\nOverall, I’m happy with the product, they’re holding up very well.

THE ICE WAS STILL THERE!!!!!!!! And it is nothing like Camelback water bottle where you lose space to insulation. I looked in and I swear the insulation must be thin. But its literally magic!!!\nSo on to the mouth piece. The very first sip was weird can't lie. But I learned quickly lol. The first small hole allows you to suck up the water without tilting it (or biting it like other water bottles do). The second bigger opening allows for a bigger sip that you have to tilt the water bottle for. At first I thought it was weird. But then I realized I can get ice through that hole to eat (I love eating ice). And when I am in a hurry, I can put put water through that hole without taking the lid off.\n\n10/10!

1,192 | Fitbit Charge 5 | Sports & Outdoors | #27 | 21,562 | $111.11 - $189.00 | [{'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'The fitbit charge 5 is not eligible for return even if you have amazon prime(For safety reasons, items containing flammable liquids or gases can’t be returned to Amazon) so only buy this with the knowledge that you will not get your money back if anything goes wrong. If you have no plans on paying for the fitbit premium subscription then do not buy this as they are very careful not to tell you that half the features of the watch don\'t work without it. The health metrics dashboard is part of the subscription so without that you don\'t get SpO2 monitoring, heart rate variability, skin temperature variation, breathing rate during sleep or 14 out of the supposed 20 exercise routines. There is more outside of the withheld features like not being able to turn off gps(the options are dynamic, using the gps built into the watch and just your phone), location services, being auto enrolled into some social club, fitbit selling the data they collect even though it\'s not a free product(you MUST agree to this in order to setup the watch) and by default having the watch set to send you all sorts of emails but I guess I get upset about that more than other people these days. If you are still ok with that then I can say the watch itself is comfortable to wear. The screen is a bit slow to respond and the image is on the soft side but it\'s bright enough that sunshine doesn\'t bother me. I do have a lot of missed inputs(I can swipe 5 or so times before the watch reacts) and also it will register incorrect inputs like moving down when I swipe right. A smaller gripe is that fitbit can\'t seem to decide on what material the charge 5 is made from. The amazon page says it\'s stainless steel but the fitbit website where I originally found this on still says it\'s made of aluminum. The watch is lightweight though. This is about all I have to offer now. I\'m stuck with a watch that won\'t do half of what I bought it for and in my mind amazon is beyond complacent. Until very recently amazon owned fitbit which makes it seem like this scenario was intentional. I have a product that won\'t work unless I pay essentially a rental fee(formerly to amazon) and I can\'t return the near useless product because it\'s now considered to be "hazardous" by amazon. I actually bought the charge 5 as a second chance for fitbit after directly buying a charge 4 from amazon(no third party) and RETURNING IT IMMEDIATELY as I payed for a new watch but was instead sent a used model with a screen that was scratched to heck and gunk left on the sensors from the last customer. I doubt that the charge 5 is somehow way more dangerous than the charge 4 and therefore is unsafe to take back to the warehouse. Both watches were safe enough for the warehouse to send them to me and amazon tried to scam me with the charge 4 but I was able to send that back so the way I see it now is that they just factored that into a predatory business model. I have one last thing before I forget. If you didn\'t know you can look around the add to cart button and under it you will find the amazon return policy. On first glance you will see that it says REFUND OR REPLACEMENT AVAILABLE but make sure you hover the mouse over it because that is not actually amazon saying that it can be returned. I honestly don\'t remember if I ever noticed that before but I certainly will remember from now on.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-3 review-rating', 'review_body': 'UPDADE 4 (final):\nFitbit introduced the recovery score as part of the premium service (means monthly fees). It’s not as good as I’d hoped. Very generic and seems to rely on resting heart rate and HRV only. It’s a bit of a disappointment. I am keeping the 3-star rating. There are better health monitors out there, but this one is well-rounded. (and priced) enough to be a contender.\n\nUPDATE 3: I am just going to sum things up after two weeks of use.\nPROs:\n*Great screen, can be easily viewed in very sunny conditions.\n*Great for working out. Provides extensive metrics as you work out and seems accurate.\n*Very good sleep tracking. Silent alarms (can be setup to avoid waking you up from a deep sleep).\n*Decent heart rate monitor. Step tracker. Calorie count, etc. All these inherent features work well.\n*Holds charge forever.\n\nCONs:\n*No recovery rate metrics, as promised by Fitbit yet.\n*The screen is blinding at night. No way to tone down the brightness.\n*No longer counts stairs climbed for some reason.\n*Does not have actual body temperature readings.\n\nI\'ve learned how to estimate my recovery rate, based on resting heart rate, sleep quality and HRV. Still, wish that metrics was provided by Fitbit, as promised.\n\nUPDATE2: Look like they made the black version FULLY RETURNABLE for whatever reason, so buy in confidence.\nOne more issue to report: the screen does not seem to have an ambient light sensor and the "sleep mode" does not automatically turn on. I find myself waking up in the middle of the night to a blinding screen that lights up the room. Not great!\n\nUPDATE1: some have mentioned problems with the device being non-returnable. I followed up with Amazon on the issue. It is returnable, IF you experience performance issues or the device itself is defective or otherwise problematic. It seems like all versions but Black are fully returnable, so it must be a glitch. Talk to Amazon, if you experience an issue. They are extremely helpful.\n\nI am now into the 4th day of testing and it looks like there is some calibration going on in the background, as readings are getting a bit more accurate. I wish the temperature sensor would provide nominal values instead of an evaluation on how much it changed from the day before. I hope Fitbit hurries up and releases the Readiness Score feature.\n\nThese are my initial impressions and I will update this review, as my experience living with Charge 5 allows me to better evaluate it. I have and regularly use Biostrap and Apple Watch. I am mostly interested in my sleep and recovery data and Apple Watch doesn’t do any of that, while Biostrap is useless for tracking workout. You cannot have it all, apparently. I was hoping that this Charge 5 can reasonably handle both tasks in one device.\n\nTo my great disappointment, Fitbit released Charge 5 without the promised Daily Readiness Score, which would basically indicate your recovery score after you wake up in the morning, telling you how your body is really doing, and whether you should go hard or easy on yourself for the rest of the day. It’s a great way to modulate your workouts and properly recover without overstressing your body. The Biostrap is excellent for that very reason (see some of my dashboard pics). That’s what I wanted out of this Fitbit and they didn’t deliver. There isn’t even a timeline for when the feature will be available.\n\nAnother missing feature is the ECG, but I am neither here or there on that one. Charge 5 also no longer shows you how many stairs you\'ve climbed, which is disappointing, since Charge 4 did. After using it for two days, I am noticing that sleep time recognition isn\'t accurate. My Biostrap gets it right, down to a minute, while Charge 5 can be off by hours. Better turn it on yourself in the settings before bedtime.\n\nSpeaking of settings are adjustments...the lack of physical buttons means that you\'ll be scrolling up/down/left/right on a small screen all day long. It can get frustrating and menus aren\'t all that logically laid out. Another things that\'s poorly laid out is the dashboard, which is supposed to give you a snapshot of your metrics at a glance. You have to go through multiple screens (and some are not easy to find) in the app to get to various points of data. All of that should be viewable on one screen.

It no longer tracks your flights climbed! Which, as an avid Hiker, is extremely important to me! I’m returning it and going back to my charge 2. (And YEA, it’s returnable, they accepted and refunded me)\n\nThe only reason I keep Fitbit even though I have an Apple Watch is bc the altimeter, battery and sleep tracking are superior to apple. However, now that they removed the altimeter I just can’t justify keeping the 5!!!!\n\n2) I don’t like that you can’t customize the colors of the different watch faces. I don’t want bright neon colors on my wrist in order to see all the stats on the main screen.\n\n3) I upgraded from the 2, so I’m not sure when this charged, but I don’t like that I have to now use the watch to set my silent alarms instead of just busting the Fitbit app. It takes so much longer to set up.\n\n4) the side bars are finicky, sometimes they don’t register that you’re pressing them while taking ecg reading.\n\n5) the screen scratches VERY easily!\n\nConclusion: all in all, if it had an altimeter I would have kept it; if they bring it back on the 6, I’ll buy that.

Additionally, several of the features advertised for this device are actually "pending" and will not be available for several months! The final kicker is that I contacted Fitbit today indicating a desire to return the device for replacement or refund (trust me, I am not the only consumer with buyers remorse) and was told that the request needed to be reviewed by "higher support."

It now appears that Fitbit/Google may not stand behind their product.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-4 review-rating', 'review_body': 'UPDATE May 2022: I\'m still a big fan of this product and have made a few updates to my initial review(s), but the bottom line is that it\'s held up to initial impressions. I ended up knocking off a star just because there are a few improvements that can be made, but it\'s still very solid.\n\n==============================\n\nI purchased the Fitbit Charge 5 as an upgrade from my Charge 3. I skipped the Charge 4 since I didn\'t really need/want the new features of that model, but the allure of a color display with the same lengthy, weeklong battery life was enough to make me upgrade to the Charge 5. I won\'t cover all the features of the Charge 5 since there are plenty of other places that go into great detail, and I may update this review after I get more use out of it.\n\nWHO SHOULD BUY A FITBIT CHARGE?\nThe Fitbit Charge is great if your primary use is as a lightweight fitness tracker. I prefer the Fitbit Charge over the Apple Watch and other smartwatches due to its lightweight nature, weeklong battery life, and my lack of need for fancier smartwatch functionality. If you like the extra bells & whistles of a smartwatch and don\'t mind a heavier watch that needs to be charged every day or three, then you may want to skip the Fitbit Charge. Also, if you\'re a die-hard Apple user who needs integration with the Apple Health app, then you\'ll also need to look elsewhere because there\'s no data flowing between the apps in either direction; thankfully, the Fitbit app is quite good and does integrate with a number of other apps.\n\nIS IT WORTH UPGRADING FROM THE CHARGE 3/4?\nIt mainly depends on how much you value a better, color display. The MSRP on a Charge 5 is $180 (though, I\'m sure the sale price will drop during the holiday season), while the MSRP on a Charge 4 is $150; though, at this point, everyone\'s selling the Charge 4 (and 3) well below MSRP, especially if you buy refurbished.\n\nIMPRESSIONS:\n- Initial setup was fairly smooth. I had to connect it to the charger to get it started up. Transitioning from my Charge 3 to the Charge 5 in the app was easy enough. There was a firmware update notice (the firmware enables the EDA sensor), and that update was a little buggy & required a few attempts before it succeeded (at one point, I needed to reboot my Fitbit).\n- ECG monitor became available via firmware update 11/9/2021. I had some connection issues while trying to run it but got it to work eventually. I don\'t have any arrhythmia issues, so while it\'s a nifty feature, it\'s ultimately useless for me.\n- The Daily Readiness Score also became available 11/9/2021. It\'s only available for Premium subscribers.\nIt takes 4 days before it starts functioning & a couple weeks to "tune". Overall, I\'d say this is not terribly useful. If you work out on a consistent basis & get a decent amount of sleep, then it\'s always a great day to work out! That is, you\'ll remain in the Good to Excellent range (30 & above). For reference, I typically work out 4-5 days/week spending 30-40 min on cardio & 30-40 min on weights, which ends up being 110-160 Zone Minutes on those days when combined with whatever other Zone Minutes I rack up when not working out. But if you take a week off or so & return to working out, then you may dip below 30 into the Low score range where it says you should prioritize recovery. I also noticed that if you forget to wear your Fitbit to bed, it can throw off your score; it sent my score plummeting for no good reason otherwise.\nAlso, perhaps not surprisingly, the Readiness Score seems to be primarily reflective of your cardio workout. It will classify my "Activity" as "Light" on some days when I spend a fair amount of time on weight training that doesn\'t really sustain an elevated heart rate (and less on cardio).\n- There\'s no longer a "home" button on the side of the display to "Return" or access additional menus. This took a little time to adjust to, but I\'m generally okay with it, especially since the touchscreen is noticeably more responsive than the Charge 3. Now, you must swipe right to return to the prior screen, and you can also double-tap in most cases to return to the home screen; though, the double-tap can be finicky. Would I prefer to have a "home" button again? Yes. (Now, the sides of the device used for the EDA sensor & ECG monitor).\n- The display is much, much better than the Charge 3/4. Brighter with much higher resolution. and of course, color.\n- The display has 3 brightness settings; however, the difference between dim, normal, and max is rather subtle; they\'re all pretty bright, and this is unfortunate because it\'s a little too bright for dark rooms in my opinion. I liked the dim, auto, and normal settings on my Charge 3 much better. Hopefully, this is something that will be fixed in a future firmware update (assuming, the Charge 5 still has the sensor that allows for an "auto" setting).\n- The "up to 7 days" battery life is not a lie. The battery life lasts me about a week with my brightness set to "normal", which is the same as my old Charge 3. I do not use the built-in GPS nor the always-on display (both of which are a significant drains on the battery), but I do average 6-8 hours/week of active exercise time. And, since the "dim" brightness setting is bright enough for me, I use it all the time, which translates to even better battery life. Pretty amazing considering the brighter, color display.\n- The Charge 5 does a better job of automatically turning the display on at the turn of the wrist. My Charge 3 wouldn\'t always turn on or would require me to turn my wrist more than what felt natural. The Apple Watch is still superior with regard to automatically turning on when looking since there is a slight delay with the Charge 5 after turning your wrist (and, it still doesn\'t always turn on).\n- The wrist band that\'s included is a nicer feeling silicone material instead of the plastic one that came with the Charge 3/4. The "small" strap on the Charge 5 band is also smaller than the "small" on the Charge 3/4. On the Charge 5, I use the last or next to last notch on the band (i.e. the strap is basically at its largest, most expanded size), but with the Charge 3 strap, I still had 3 or 4 empty notches to work with. Not a big deal since they include small & large bands, but something to consider if you purchase additional bands. I did end up purchasing the Sport band, which does have more notches to work with. Be sure to use Fitbit\'s sizing tool on their website before purchasing extra wrist bands since they do vary based on which one you get.\n- The heart rate monitoring is nice & accurate like the Charge 3. I run on a treadmill with a Tickr X (1st gen) chest strap, and after the first few minutes of running when my heart rate is more stable, the readings between the Charge 5 & Tickr X are either the same or only off by a bpm or two. It\'s less accurate when doing sprints/HIIT since it tends to lag behind the Tickr X, but it\'s still in the ballpark (albeit, delayed).\n- The EDA sensor seems like a waste for me. Along the lines of the guided breathing exercises in the Charge 3, it\'s just something that I don\'t care to use, and I question its accuracy/validity anyway.\n- I\'m not sure if this was introduced with the Charge 4, but there\'s a daily Stress Management Score now. The number seems fairly meaningless, since it\'s somewhat of a mystery as to how it\'s calculated. Yes, Fitbit tells you what the general parameters are (heart rate, sleep, activity) & premium members get to see how the sub-scores feed into the overall score (see below), but in the end, it just seems pretty meaningless to me.\n- I think this may have changed with the Charge 4, but it no longer tracks the number of floors you\'ve climbed (no big deal as it was wildly inaccurate), and it counts Active Zone Minutes instead of Active Minutes now. Fitbit\'s website has more details on Active Minutes vs Active Zone minutes.\n- There\'s 23 clock faces to choose from. Most of them only display one stat (e.g. HR, steps, etc.) at a time (though, you can usually cycle through them all by tapping the screen), which is unfortunate. Hopefully, they\'ll add more data-rich clock faces, but overall, it\'s nice to see them making use of the colorful, higher resolution display.\n- The charging cable functions a lot better since it magnetically clips to the Fitbit (like an Apple Watch does to its charger). I believe it\'s the same charging cable as the Fitbit Luxe.\n- My Charge 5 somewhat regularly (once every day or two) has trouble syncing with the app. It has gotten better over time & usually just requires me to refresh the app (by dragging down at the top of the screen of the phone app). At worst, I\'ll need to restart the app, and once I had to restart my Fitbit device itself. Overall, not a big deal. Just an occasional annoyance.\n\nFITBIT PREMIUM MEMBERSHIP:\nI generally dislike paying for subscriptions since the cost of them can add up to something pretty substantial over time. The Fitbit Premium Membership isn\'t exactly cheap at $10/month or $80/year; though, you get 6 months for free with the purchase of your Charge 5. If you actually use many/all of its features, then it may be worthwhile, but for me, it isn\'t (i.e. I won\'t be paying for membership when my free trial runs out in a week or so). The Daily Readiness Score & Health Metrics Dashboard are the only premium features I routinely looked at, but I question their overall usefulness/practicality. Here\'s a rundown of what you get for your money:\n- Daily Readiness Score: see comments above in IMPRESSIONS section - in short, not terribly useful.\n- Health Metrics Dashboard (see attached pic): graphs/data for Breathing Rate, Heart Rate Variability (HRV), Skin Temperature, Oxygen Saturation (SpO2), Resting Heart Rate (RHR). The RHR data is already available for non-Premium users & you can view you most recent SpO2 reading on the device, but the rest of the stats appear to only be available to Premium members. The graphs are actually kinda crummy; there\'s two types: 1) one graph allows you to vary the time scale to view 7, 30, or 90 days, but you have to visually line up the dot with the values on the y-axis to determine the actual reading for each dot, and 2) another type of graph shows 7 days at a time with individual readings on the graph, but you can\'t change the time frame/scale of this graph. It would be a lot nicer if they made these graphs larger & interactive (so you could change the time scale on the fly & tap on the data points to see the reading).\n- Wellness Report: You can generate a PDF wellness report to be emailed. While it provides a summary of HR, weight, activity, & sleep trends over the course of 1, 3, 6, & 12 months, it\'s lame that you can\'t just view this directly in the app.\n- Stress Management Score details (see attached pic): extra details on your score including the sub-scores that feed into it: Responsiveness, Exertion Balance, & Sleep Patterns.... still not sure how meaningful any of this is.\n- Sleep Score details (see attached pic): there\'s a different detailed view of your sleep score; you get sub-scores for Time Asleep, Deep and REM, and Restoration, but I believe all the graphs are the same for non-premium users, so I\'m not sure that this offers much more insight that the non-premium view does; I suppose you get to see how much each sub-score accounts for the overall score.\n- Instructional stuff: There are various workout routines, guided meditations, food programs, & sleep programs you can look up & do.\n- Games & Challenges: You can participate in various fitness games/challenges, which might motivate you to work out more.\n\nOverall, I think the Charge 5 is a nice upgrade from my beloved Charge 3, and for me, it was worth paying the extra bucks.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Missing functionality right out of the box. As others have pointed out the GPS and heart rate function can’t really be used simultaneously. The SPo2 and the body temp were my key factors in purchasing the watch as the earlier versions of the watch handle the basic functionality this has. I have to say as a “health tracker” there are many reasons to be disappointed in this watch. To be fair there are many good choices out there right now however at this price along with the premium monthly up charge pushes this watch into the price range of an Apple Watch. So sadly I’m going to return it and purchase the apple product. The issue with most of these companies once they are acquired is to sail along on minimal enhancement and hope that people are too lazy to try new products by other manufacturers.

Not sure if this is premature wearing or not. Also, it seems this company generates a lot of reviews by offering free samples for giving a review of 100 words or more on their product. I received a pamphlet with my mat on their warranty and review process, posted a review, and then they sent me an e-mail "gift claim form" where I can basically get something for free from them since I provided a review.\n\nI purchased this for yoga, based on all the reviews this item has, and so far I\'ve used it 3 times over the past week. It\'s worked great so far, and here are my thoughts based on other reviews:\n\n1) Squeakiness/noise: Yes, it does make some noise as I move into different poses. I do yoga at home, so it doesn\'t bug me, but I could see it being a problem in a yoga studio or in a group of people. It doesn\'t constantly squeak, but as I move my feet around, it does make some noise. I think it\'s more the mat and the wooden floor it\'s on which creates the noise.\n\n2) Falling apart: Some reviews mentioned it immediately starts to disintegrate. I have noticed a couple of strands of rubber come off as I unroll it, but it doesn\'t seem that bad at all. I\'ll update this if it continues to come apart as other reviews had indicated.\n\n3) Smell: It smells a little bit, kind of like a latex pillow or other similar rubber/plastic product. I only noticed it today when I had my face down on it, so it\'s not strong at all.\n\n4) Movement: I haven\'t noticed it moving around at all. It sticks to my wooden floor pretty well, so no complaints there.\n\n5) Squishiness: Some people have said it\'s too thick and they sink into the mat. I haven\'t noticed this at all. Prior to this mat, I was using a thin yoga mat and any time I was on my hands or knees for a long time it was very uncomfortable.

It is incredibly cushioned, which for me is of major importance. I have bad knees, and regular mats are never cushioned enough for me.

I do however do Piyo daily, as well as a few other body weight resistance and strengthening exercises, and this has an awesome grip. No more sliding or falling due to instability issues caused by no traction. I look forward to being able to do the exercises without fear of a few routines again! On a side note, I haven't noticed any odd or offensive smells, so that's a bonus! I am actually considering ordering a second mat for my husband!

I also thought that thicker would be more comfortable, but I am actually going to try a standard 1/4 inch mat instead of this one because it almost seems too thick. The only redeeming quality was that I did not experience any tears like other customers, but with the amount of stretching, I could definitely see it happening.

I write reviews when something really wows me, or makes me happy. And also, to help other people in their searches. That aside, I have never owned a yoga mat, or even sat on one before this. I purchased this one in particular, after looking at about 30 or so- some up to $70! (Ridiculous!) And most cost more if you want an actual color. Not true of this mat. After reading almost all of it's reviews, and reading the fact that it was THE number one top selling yoga mat, (on Amazon), it was the thickness I wanted, the right color, material, a 2-year warranty, and just $18?! I purchased it immediately! Two days later, I was very pleasantly surprised! It was packaged super great. I rolled it out, laid down, and wondered why the heck I didn't do this earlier. Feels like heaven on my back. I'm a 53-year old female whose joints need tender care. I only do light yoga, stretches, am only 125 lbs., so I can tell that this will last me quite a while. Excellent quality. I could even sleep on it, in the event of an emergency. Lastly, it has Velcro straps to hold it together, and a nice shoulder sling.

First off, I\'m not an avid yoga practitioner--I just wanted something with enough cushioning to pad my bones on a hard floor. This def\'ly does that--it is very cushiony and soft. one side is completely smooth and the other is slightly corrugated. I assumed smooth was for the down side, and used it that way. Had no problems with slipping at all. I see that others have had issues with tears. I can see where that could happen--the foam is very soft. It is in fact softer, that I expected for something labeled high density. However, since every other pad I saw in stores was only a 1/4" thick for the same price, I am very happy with it so far.\n\nEdit--I should have added, you\'ll need to be sure your floor and shoes are clear of any grit--the foam is soft enough that any odd bits of stuff are going to imbed into it.'}] | https://www.amazon.com/BalanceFrom-All-Purpose-Anti-Tear-Exercise-Carrying/dp/B09TTZH4CZ/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 |
