Ironman Gravity 1000 Inversion Table Product Description

December 18, 2008

Product Description
Whether you want to reduce back stress or fatigue or stimulate your blood circulation, the Ironman Gravity 1000 inversion table makes a great household accessory. The inversion table contributes to your body’s overall health by optimizing lumbar traction, thereby relieving pressure on your vertebrae discs and ligaments. And when your back starts to relax, the rest of your body follows. The table can also help with such areas as increasing body flexibility for improved athletic performance, reducing the effects of aging due to gravity, and relieving lower backaches due to sitting or standing.

The Gravity 1000 boasts a durable tubular steel frame with a scratch-resistant powder-coated finish. The backrest, meanwhile, is made of a tough nylon material that’s extremely durable yet still comfortable when the table is in use. Most importantly, the inversion system is a breeze to use: once you rest your body against the nylon backrest and slip your feet into the ergonomically molded ankle cushions, simply reach your arms over your head. As your arms go up, your body gradually inverts up to 90 degrees. The only inputs are your energy and gravity itself.

Users will also appreciate the tough rubber non-skid floor stabilizers, which keep the table stable while you invert, and the extra-long safety handles, which provide an easy return to an upright position. Other details include a height-adjustable frame up to 6 feet 6 inches; support for up to 300 pounds; vinyl safety side covers to protect hands and fingers; and a durable spring-loaded ankle locking system. The Gravity 1000, which folds into a compact footprint for easy storage, measures 25 by 62 by 49 inches (W x H x D) and weighs 46 pounds.

Customer Reviews
By B. Patterson
I bought the item on-line from Amazon and personal matters prevented me from using it in the first three months. When I did try, I was unable to start the engine. Although I live in Chicago, Homelite service is scarce and I had to drive 20 miles to drop it off at a service center. The center (Hugo’s in Addison IL) kept it for 5 weeks, and when they finally worked on it, insisted that I pay $62.16 for them cleaning out the carburator. Remember, this was a brand new machine that had gas in it for 5 days before I took it to the repair shop!

Afterwards, I placed a claim for my $62.16 (there was no reclaiming 5 weeks of summer…) with Homelite under their warranty program, which was a joke. They merely dismissed the claim, citing Hugo’s justification, and shrugged off my promise to advertize the experience.

I will not buy a Homelite product again, ever, and realize from this experience that Amazon is no help in rectifying a problem like this. I wish I had bought a power washer at my local home center

By R. Phillips
This is a fantastic power washer…great for all different size jobs. It is larger than the typical unit you buy at a home improvement store (and larger than it looks in the photo) but is actually quite easy to maneuver…easier than the other brands too. Great machine for personal and professional uses!

Eureka 71B Hand-Held Vacuum Reviews

Customer Reviews

Two cats and two fabric-covered couches, can you feel my pain? After a while, I was going nuts. I’d go broke buying the adhesive type lint rollers, the rubber ones (search for “sweepa”) and the reusable brush type didn’t do the job. All I’d heard about was dysons, dysons, dysons, so I started saving. But then I thought, hey, what I want is the little motorized roller brush attachment — so I got online, started searching, and found this. I figured $40 as opposed to $500 was worth a try, especially with the good reviews.

and it *was*. It gets all the cat hair off my couch, and the nice thing is that the hose just tugs right out and you can also get the little cracks and crevices without missing a beat. The “riser visor” thing, I thought was kinda silly til I started using it — and it’s great. You can vacuum horizontally and vertically, and for furniture, stairs, etc–a great feature.

My only complaint is that it’s just a *bit* heavy, especially for longer use. Wears that arm out, but that can be a good thing, too.

I’m still hoping to get a dyson eventually, but for the job I wanted to do, getting pet hair off my furniture — this is *perfect*.

I’d planned to get the small Dyson, but the reviews of this vacuum persuaded me to give it a try. It’s absolutely excellent. It’s the best handheld vacuum I’ve ever tried, and I’ve thrown more of these things away than I can remember. Fortunately, I’ve always saved the attachments. Sometimes they fit another model, sometimes they don’t. Since there’s no fancy coupling required to attach tools to the hose end of this one, its just friction, most fit it.

This is a solid, powerful vacuum. The filter is heavy-duty and seems very durable. It’s easily removed and reattached. I use those over-priced compressed air duster cans to blow all the dust and dog hair off of the filter. Between this and my full-size Dyson, there’s probably more of the family dog outside the house than in by now. As for the weight of this machine, it is a little heavy, but then I only have to support its weight when doing vertical surfaces or carrying it around. When it’s vacuuming stairs and furniture, I let the horizontal surfaces support most of the weight.

Everything about this machine suggests its maker really put a lot of thought and effort into making an absolutely excellent product. And, I commend them for packaging it in protective plastic that can be easily removed without knives, pliers, bolt cutters, or a chain saw. The engineering on this one was obviously thoughtful and thorough.


Black & Decker SZ360 3.6-Volt Ni-Cad Cordless Power Scissors

November 20, 2008
Amazon.com Product Review
These scissors offer way more cutting power than just about anyone can muster with muscle alone, and best of all, it’s effortless. You can’t help but love a product that makes life so much easier, especially for folks who suffer from arthritis.You can cut nearly anything with these, from delicate pattern paper to sheet vinyl flooring and window screening, with just the press of a button. Our favorite job for these, though, is to easily slice into that impossible-to-open, hard plastic packaging that seems to be on most everything these days. It’s no match for these scissors.

When power scissors first came out, there wasn’t too much concern about ergonomics, but we know so much more these days about how important that is. Black & Decker’s made this power tool a treat for the body to use, with a nice cushy grip, super light weight and no force needed.

One charge will keep you cutting for 70 minutes, and then you just plug it in and charge it again. There’s no end to what you can use these power scissors for – gift wrapping, sewing, scrapbooking, decorating, jobs around the house, crafts, clipping coupons.


Global Distinctions Double Storage Ottoman with Tray Tables Reviews

November 14, 2008

I bought this a few days ago when it was a gold box item and it just came in today. I love it!

I ordered it in the brown and it is even nicer than pictured. Yes, it smelled like some kind of oil initially (even the ones in the store have this smell)but I wiped it down a couple of times (pledge wipes) and it smells fine now.

It is the perfect size for a small living room and the extra seating it provides is so great.

I have one similar to this (except it’s just a flip-top storage bench from target) that lost its shape over time because the top layer was made of cheap foam. This one, however, has very small (almost the consistency of sand) beads that will help it keep its shape.

I highly recommend this!


How To Make Highly Scented Candles That Aren’t Poisonous!

May 24, 2008

Candles can craft a sense of warmth, drama, or romance conditional on how you wish to use them. Your options for decorating with candles are limited only by your imagination. Candles can be an exciting option to add to a room. They can add scent as well as mood.

Candles can be used burnt to stand for fire, or to bear an intention. They can be anointed with oils, or rolled in incense or scented, to transmit the specific aim.

Candles can help set the ambiance and mellow the mood for any area, and time and again their beneficial scents can offer a dose of aromatherapy. Since a lot of candle companies contain dangerous ingredients in their aromatic candles, such as lead or zinc, paraffin wax or synthetic wicks, numerous companies have begun to offer cleaner burning, extra natural candles.

Candles can be customized in many ways. Sometimes it’s the scent and colour combination or the dimension of the candles that matter.

Candles can be made in just about any shape, from ball candles to long, skinny tapers. There are also complicated molds in every appearance thinkable. Candles can be used in different ways around the house; like perfumed candles can be used in the bathroom. At a dining table, candles give a romantic and elegant ambience. Candles can be accented with a variety of items such as flower petals, small blooms or seashells. Dried flowers pressed into the wax of the candle offer a further alternative.

Traditionally, candles are paraffin-based, which is made from non-renewable petroleum. Paraffin is a petroleum by-product of oil refining, and most bouquet oils used for candle making are petroleum-based synthetics. The soot from these materials can contain carcinogens, neurotoxins and reproductive toxins. Paraffin is a derivative of petroleum, and once burned, they release poisons such as formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, and soot into the air. These paraffin and fragrant candles can also trigger allergic and asthma-like reactions such as sore throat, itchy and watery eyes, headaches, and skin irritation.

Soy candles are non toxic, water soluble, biodegradable and considered to be the healthy choice of candles. The jars clean up clearly with soap and hot water. Soy candles are good for the ecosystem. The wax is biodegradable. Soy candles are nontoxic and non-carcinogenic because they burn clean and are Soot-free. They have a tendency to burn cooler and more uniformly, making them last nearly 50% longer then paraffin candles.

Soy candles are also much cheaper than beeswax candles, since soy wax can be readily and easily produced to meet demand. The ecological advantages of soy candles can be enhanced with the addition of recycled packaging and eco-friendly wicks made from recycled materials. Soy candles are all natural and do not contain any poisons, thus very little soot will come of them.

Soy candles last 30 to 50 percent longer than traditional candles. Soy candles are long-lasting with burn times ranging from approximately 20 hours (for the 4 oz size) to 45 hours (for the 8 oz dimension). Soy wax is gentle, non-deadly, and easy to clean up with a superior scent throw.
