Fitness Ball - ball chair, stability ball

I had a shipping problem with my ball, and I also ended up with the wrong size. Max Fitness went the extra mile and met all of my needs with 100% integrity. They were pro-active and gracious.

I also love the ball. One qualification for those of you considering getting a ball. The size of the ball may depend on not only your height but what you are using it for. In my case, I'm 6' tall and I use the ball to do Core Exercises as taught by Gunnar Peterson and the 65 cm ball is definately too small for me. The 75 cm ball works for me, and I'm completely satisfied both with it's quality and the excellent service I received from Max Fitness in the process.

You can't go wrong with these folks. Max Fitness 75cm Exercise Ball with Foot Pump (Black)

I bought this item to use as a chair replacement, which means it likely gets used more often than if for exercise. I bought this items a month ago and have used it almost daily since. To date I have not had to reinflate the ball and it has been sturdy and comfortable. The enclosed pump didn't inspire a lot of confidence but actually worked just fine, and given the fact that it may not require a lot of use, should be suitable for the life of the ball.

I like this ball now that I have it set up- it's great for stretching and even as a chair. However, when it arrived it had an oily residue all over it accompanied by a terrible chemical smell- maybe I'm just oversensitive to these things, but it was really overpowering. I washed it as best I could, and the smell has faded over time, but avoid this product if you have any sensitivity to smells or chemical.s

The rubber in this exercise ball is much thicker than others I've purchased, so I can see why it's listed as anti-burst. The included pump was helpful as well. As indicated in the instructions, the ball didn't seem to blow up that much initially, but after letting it sit overnight, I was able to add more air. So far I'm very pleased with it.

I used a standing bicycle pump to pump up the balls -- still took about 15 minutes per ball. I also sprayed them down with soap and put them in the shower for 10 minutes in an attempt to remove the plastic smell, which worked. I let them hang out for a day at 3/4 full and then pumped more air into them to reach 75 cm. I alternate between the ball and my chair at my desk which works well. It took a little tweaking to get it to the right height.

This thing holds up to my weight which is 318lbs w/o flinching. I lift weights on it, so its really holding a lot more than that. It is quite strong. The pump they give you with it though makes it take a LONG time and a lot of energy to fill up, its nice if you have your own pump.

I've been using this ball as a computer chair since it arrived a few days ago. Really feeling it from my abs down to the tips of my toes.

Two not so great things about the ball are (1) the material it's made of bonds to paint if it touches a painted surface for a few hours and (2) it is extremely difficult to remove the air plug when you need/want to adjust the air pressure. The latter especially is a design flaw I hope the company addresses.

Just received this a couple of days ago. I did not notice an odor as other reviews mentioned. The ball is made well and I'm not worried about it bursting. It is hard to get the plug out to refill. The pump works too.

I've ordered and returned 2 other stability balls, but I'm keeping this one.

I was very pleased overall with the ball I received, as it was easy to inflate with the included pump, surprisingly sturdy, and came as advertised.

However, as a few other users have noted, the ball has a VERY strong chemical smell after it's been taken out of its packaging. I closed it up in another room with the windows open for a couple days, then washed the whole inflated ball in the shower with dishwashing liquid, and those two steps reduced the smell by about 90%. Hopefully in time it will disappear completely -- I wouldn't have used the ball at all if the smell hadn't gotten better gradually. It makes me wonder what kind of chemicals the thing is outgassing and if they're safe. MaxFitness should either deal with this issue by de-scenting or washing the balls before they're shipped, or by addressing the issue in their instructions.

Other than the smell, the ball has been great and everything I hoped for. - Fitness - Stability Ball - Ball Chair - Exercise'

Cable Organizers

Visit Store Now !!

This cable management system is pretty good, especially if you only need to bind a series of similar length cables (for example a bundle of cables running from a TV to an AV receiver). It's easy to install using the provided tool. I thought it wouldn't work for binding up multiple power cables because their heads were too large to fit through the adapter tool, but then I realized that it splits open down the middle so you you can easily start at any location on the cables. One thing to keep in mind is that if you are running multiple cables that are going different distances, the best way to do this is to just run the cables the entire length and then when you are done pull out the cable(s) that need to go shorter distances. I found it relatively easy to bind up several runs of cables from my AV-receiver to my speakers and television. Now I don't have an octopus of wires under my AV rack which makes me happy and my wife happy too.

Recommended. Monster CIT MBK-16 Medium Diameter Black Cable-It Wire Management System (16 feet)

My wife's office was a mess of wires - laptop, monitor, laser printer, plotter, networking, router, phone - sooooo many cables. I had to disconnect everything to get it organized, but once I laid out the cords, the cable-it system was easy to install. It has a neet little device to thread the cords in the cable-it wrapper.

I highly recommend, but plan 30-60 minutes to plan out your cable setup.

This zipper and hose style cable management system works pretty well. The zipper tool seems to fall apart sometimes and doesn't stay together well when zipping the cables up. All in all, works good if all of your cables are the same length. If you have several different lengths, setting it all up can be kind of a pain.

The product isn't to bad but it is certainly not of a very high quality. Also, if you order white, you won't be getting white. The color is an almond. Anyway, if I had to do it again, I wouldn't order this.

I looked in the description for how many cords this would hold and couldn't find it so I bought a Medium. It is 1.2 inches in diameter and the box says it will hold 5-8 cables, which is about right. We used it for four TV cords, a dvd player, antenna box, and clock (seven cords total). We were even able to double back a few of them to keep the total length shorter. It's not the loveliest looking thing, but it's better than a cord octopus. It was easy to use--the zipper handle is smart. Watch the video in the pictures for installation details.

This is not what you need if you are running cords up a wall, across a floor, or behind molding, however. It is designed for loose cables that are running from an electronic device to an outlet (behind a desk or entertainment center, for example). The directions also recommend using separate ones for AV cables and power cords, for what it's worth.

I was really happy with this product and buying it on Amazon is less than 1/2 what the local Best Buy was charging (not including tax!).

The little "tool" they include is cute, but not necessary, I gave up trying to figure it out and just used my hands. I had a complete 7.1 surround system with multiple speaker, HDMI and power cords to deal with. Took me all of about 7 minutes to do it by hand. My advice is to toss the tool and just go for it.

The only real negative is that the "white" version is actually navajo white, so be prepared. It looks easily paintable however if you need to do that.

I usually stay far away from overpriced Monster products. But this was the only cable management system I could find that seemed like it would do what I wanted. And I love it. I used it on ethernet and power cables that run to my computer which is on a rolling cart. This makes it very easy to roll the cart and manage the cables.

I had been looking for a cord organizer for a little while. I knew that I could find spiral wrap that I have used before but I found this as an alternate. The photos made it seem pretty easy to install so I gave it a try. Being a guy, I didn't read the instructions on installation but come on, how hard could it be. It was tricky enough that I had to check the instructions for what went where. Once I did that, it was a breeze. The wrap was easy to cut with a heavy duty scissors and it does a great job of keeping the cords organized.'

Winch

Visit Store Now !!

This is probably the most purchased Warn winch in the last decade. Very strong/durable. It is even better than the old winches since it uses solid-state solenoids which are located in the integrated body. If you don't want an integrated solenoid winch for smaller mounting areas (like the ARB bumpers), you can get the XD9000. Additionally, I recommend synthetic line instead of steel wire since it really improves winching safety. WARN 27550 XD9000i 9000-lb Winch'

Adhesives - packaging tape, tape

Visit Store Now !!

This is a strong heavy duty packing tape. It won't curl up like the cheap ones. It also does not fly away and stick to something else if you are not quick enough when cutting it.

We go through lots of packing taPe in our home, and this is by far, among the best.

Updated August 31, 2009

Wow, was I surprised when I went to buy this again and saw that Amazon is now charging over $25 for 3 rolls of tape. In June, I paid $12.44. I won't be buying it at the increased price. I'll put it in my cart as a saved item, and wait to see if price goes down. Scotch Heavy Duty Shipping Packaging Tape, 1.88 Inches x 54.6 Yards, 6-Rolls (3850-6)

Do not buy this tape - it barely sticks.

It's faster to use two layers of weaker but stickier tape, than it is to use this tape, because half the time you will have to use both hands to anchor the starting point, even though I was using my tried-and-true quality packing tape dispenser. The whole point of a tape dispenser and packing tape is to use one hand to hold the box, and the other hand to apply the tape. This tape's poor adhesion defeats the purpose.

CON - It has poor adhesive qualities on every packing/packaging cardboard surface I tried it on.

PRO - It's strong.

Not only is this tape great for sealing boxes up with, but recently I had a car window that wouldn't go up all the way. I had to wait a week for a $400 special-order part (ouch!), and it was a snowy/rainy week. I didn't much like the idea of driving around with a garbage back on my car, so I just ran several lines of this tape to seal up the window. It worked well! Didn't have any stuff flapping in the wind, and it was completely water-proof! Furthermore, it didn't leave a whole lot of messy residue on the car or window...

Great tape!

Bought a 6-pack of this tape couple months ago on Amazon. What can I tell you - on grand scheme of things it was a waste. It simply doesn't stick to anything. Not to carton, not even to plastic. What kind of packaging tape is that? I can't even seal a plastic bag with it, never mind a cardboard box.

I bought this Heavy Duty Scotch packing tape because I didn't want to go with a cheap off-brand and get tape the came off the package during shipping. Instead, I paid a premium price for 6 rolls of tape that don't stick to anything. Worthless. I hope this was just a production fluke and not indicative of a new trend at Scotch. - Scotch - Office Supplies - Packaging Tape - Tape'

Underwire Bras - underwire bras, best bra

Visit Store Now !!

I just received this item in the mail and I want to order more! This is the most comfortable bra I've ever worn. It's super supportive and the fabric feels good. There's just a touch of feminine detailing where the straps meet the cup - other than that it's no frills. Looks great under a t-shirt...seamless and smooth. Bali Women's Back To Beautiful Underwire,Beige,36DDD

I purchased one of these at a retail store, and loved it, but I couldn't find more than one in my size. So I ordered four more on amazon. Yes, they are the kind of fabric that some nursing bras are made of, but I find that to be quite comfortable. The only "con" is that in my normal size, I have to use the very last hook and it's kind of a snug fit. I tried going up a size, but then the cups didn't fit.

Otherwise, they are supportive, fit well, and well, make my boobs look great! My biggest pet peeves with bras is that they don't separate well and my boobs get all mashed together and sweaty. (TMI, right?) Well, these hold one on the east side and the other on the west side and they never meet in uniboob land. I hope that Bali never discontinues this style.

I had never purchased bras online before, but I'm at a size where stores don't carry it.

This bra is very classy in design and very comfortable. I was hesitant about the quality because of the low price, but I was pleasantly surprised. I highly recommend it...EXCEPT that the size listed is a little smaller than my size, so if you order one, order up one size.

This is a nice bra, the pros: deep cups, nice U back style, great straps, they go "in", won't fall off your shoulder, nice Lined cups for no show through, also the under wire is comfortable.

The cons:..NO LIFT AT ALL, FOR ME ANYWAY, you just kind of fall into the cups & sit there, I totally agree with the reviewer below, this is def like wearing a nursing bra & i'm a full 36DD, so I do like support, this bra confuses me, so it's now it a shopping bag full of the "I don't no what's up with this bra"..!!!!!

Needed a comfy yet good looking bra with padded underwire. I worked out my size in US size and hoped for the best. What I received by courier to my doorstep on my birthday was the perfect present to me.

I am a big bra buyer but this bra is a nightmare. I have the dream tisha, some from lilyete, Calvin klein but this is by far the worst Bra ever! It feels and looks like a breastfeeding bra. As a mom this is the last thing u want, right?

Do urself a favor, don't buy it! - Bra - Underwire Bra - Underwire Bras - Best Bra'

Duracell - alkaline batteries, d batteries

Visit Store Now !!

If you have seen the television ads where Duracell advertises that NASA uses their batteries and shake your head in disbelief you are partially right and partially wrong. The Procell battery is exactly the battery that NASA uses for their applications in space and on the ground, not the coppertop or the ultra. These batteries are professional, top of the line disposable batteries that hold their charge longer and can survive more extreme temperature changes than any retail store bought battery. They are also IDEAL for flashlights as they will put out a much brighter light than anything else that can be bought in stores. Highly recommended! DURACELL D12 PROCELL Professional Alkaline Battery

These Procell batteries are very long lasting and I did a price comparison and it is the best bang for your buck. They advertise a 5 year shelf life that I cannot speak to. They come packed very well from the factory in heavy boxes that will hold up well until you use all of them. I highly recommend this battery due to the fact it is long lasting is a very good buy. Thank you Amazon for a win win situation for customers.For my money you cannot buy a better battery and it comes in all the popular sizes,AA,AAA,C,D and 9 volt. I use all of them. I have read on the internet this is the only battery that NASA will use do to its reliability.

I am not sure who the rater was who said Duracell is not affiliated with Duracell Procell batteries, but I went to their website, hit the professional button at the top and came to the website discussing all the advantages of this battery, linked right from the coppertop page.

Anyway, we have a lot of gamers and these batteries seem to hold up well and since we go through a lot of them during marathon playing, the reasonable price makes them a ready shelf item over the ones that are twice the cost. Rechargeables just didn't seem to do the trick. They seemed to last shorter and shorter times, and the price to replace too high.

Good choice for the price, and Amazon Prime shipping too!

I was a bit concerned after reading reports of tattered packaging and roughed-up batteries. The box of Procell D's that I received was sealed and in good shape. The batteries were dated March 2017 and all looked new. A small corner dent on the product box appeared to have been due to the box flopping around inside the shipping box with some other items. I also bought some Procell AA batteries at the same time. The AAs were in a sealed box and in good shape. I would recommend this Amazon partner for good products and very competitive pricing. I will buy from them again.

I order a box of these batteries since I have used them before and they have always worked great. When I received them they had a parts number label on them from a completely different vendor (Grainger) attached to them and the box had been opened and repacked. So far these batteries have perfromed just as well as every other Duracell battery but I was not happy with the fact that I know the item had been on a self at another company before being sold here.

These batteries last longer than any other battery I've used. They were used in my twins' swing. This swing gets very heavily used, probably close to 6 or 8 hours a day! With these batteries the swing was able to function for at least two weeks (probably closer to three, but I don't remember the exact date I put them in). Other D batteries in the swing have lasted barely a week with our usage. They're worth the price if you ask me!

I placed an order despite the number of bad reviews for battered boxes and dead batteries and received my order in new-looking condition with an unbroken "Ready to ship - Fullfilled by Amazon" sticker seal on the box. The batteries seemed to be as fully charged as the ones I bought at the hardware store. No complaints.

I don't care if the boxes were opened or sealed, these are professional use batteries, the shelf life is for like mar 2016 on the two boxes I purchased, If you went out and bought these at a store they would be very expensive, as normal, amazon does a better than average job shipping. a box in a box.

Hands down - the best battery you can buy is the Duracell ProCell. They have an incredable storage life. Great for emergency kit in the basement. Good power that seems more consistant and lasts longer then the regular Duracell. - Bulk - Duracell - Alkaline Batteries - D Batteries'

Door Handle Lock - babyproofing, door handle lock

Visit Store Now !!

I've purchased these for every door in the house. They are extremely easy to operate for an adult but our 14 month old can't reach above the handle to unlock it, yet. It would take him both hands to open, although adults can use just one. Only problem is that it doesn't fit on the exterior doors.

Because it relocks once the handle is back up in place, I was concerned that I'd get locked in the room or down in the basement but it's design keeps that from happening. The handle moves inside the guard to prevent this.

Still looking for something for the outside doors, but all other guards have stated to NOT use on exterior doors. Most likely because you can get locked out as the handle won't go down to get back in. Just wish this one fit. Kidco Clear Door Lever Locks

This is a great item. We have 18 month twin boys that figured out how to open the doors and this keeps them from doing that anymore. They cover the lever handles and really work. Only negative is that they are kind of bulky but this is the only peroduct out there that works for these handles, and older kids can operate them easily.

If you are looking for something that is attractive and not noticable, this is not the right product for you. But we use ours for two doors upstairs near our daughter's room and it works very well. She has figured out all the door knobs in the house, but the lifting mechanism on this one keeps her from getting the door open. It's definitely big and bulky but for the bathroom and bedroom door upstairs, it's perfect for us.

The door lever lock does serve its purpose in keeping my 2 year old out of the office--it's not bad that he's in there, but he loves to play with doors and constantly slam it! This deters just that! What's true is that the part that covers the door handle does slide off a lot when an adult tries to enter the room, but it's no big deal, it just 'snaps' back in place by lining up the groove on top with the bottom part of the 'deadbolt.' My husband wasn't about to drill anything into our new doors, the adhesive does work for us although I've read complaints from others that it doesn't. We haven't had a problem with the adhesive. The product serves its purpose for our needs. However it did come without the package, we were scratching out heads on this one. We just got the clear door lever locks in a manilla envelope. Go figure!

This lever lock would be great if you didn't have a sneaky 3 year old to figure out how to open it. We used it on our front door to keep our toddler from going outside but it is not working all the time.

This product was much easier to install than the first one I tried, which required disassembly of the doorknob. I installed it in about a minute and my 18 month-old can't bypass it. It might not work for older kids but for now it is just what we need.

A little flimsy, but it does the job.. I live in an apartment and didn't want to drill into the door. The Kidco Lever lock allowed me to have a child lock on the front door without having to drill holes.

My son is 3 years old, so we definitely needed a product like this. Be prepared to install it using the screws that are provided. With enough pressure on the door handle cover provided, it is easy to pop the top locking part right off the door if you only use the adhesive. Sometimes I have to make sure that it goes back in the lock position on the back door of the house before I close the door behind me, but that is because it was the first one I installed. I paid more attention to aligning it well on the one I installed in my son's bedroom, and it works perfectly. Overall, I am happy with this product, and can sleep easier at night knowing the little guy can't escape!

Our 23 month old figured out how to use this latch in under two months. He basically lifted the top tab and while leaning on the handle, "presto" got the door open and was very pleased with his discovery.

In order to secure the top tab, you must apply an adhesive that comes with the lock and screw holes are optional for additional security. We opted to secure the top tab with the screws to be extra safe.

After only 6 weeks use, we were left with messy adhesive and two holes in our door. I would not recommend this product. - Door Handle Lock - Safety - Babyproofing - Lever Lock'
