Electric Razors - philips norelco, electric razors


this is a very eye catching, light in weight and smooth to use shaver. it provides very close shaves especially with shaving foam. it charges fast and has a reliable charge indicator. the only drawbacks i found are the blades are not close enough to the edge (like my old 7775X) to trim off the hairs near the nose. also the three heads have to be individually opened for cleaning. though this is no biggie. overall a pretty good shaver. im glad i didnt spend the extra 100 for the bells and whistles of the advanced model. Philips Norelco 1250x/40 SensoTouch 3d Electric Shaver, Black

I've been using electric shavers for over 35 years. I've used every major brand made. Phillips/Norelco has finally gotten it right with the 1250X40 SensoTouch 3D shaving system. I'm very impressed with this shaver (And I'm not impressed very easily).

In the past I've bought the top line shaver from the three major shaver manufacturers (Braun, Panasonic, Phillips/Norelco) & tried them out side by side. I've always felt the linear foil screen shavers made by Braun & Panasonic gave a closer shave, that is until now. This SensoTouch 3D shaving system gives just as close a shave as the linear foil screen shavers by Braun & Panasonic. The Phillips/Norelco shavers have always been less irritating to the skin than the foil screen shavers. So if you have sensitive skin that is easily irritated by shaving, you will appreciate any of the Phillips/Norelco shavers.

This shaver has a quick 1 hour to full charge feature. If you let the battery run down, a 3-5 minute charge will get you a full shave. You must use the charger stand to charge the shaver. This is a bit of a negative for the shaver. I sometimes travel for two weeks at a time, and so will have to carry the bulky charger stand in my shaver bag. (My last Braun shaver had a cord that could plug into the charger stand or directly into the shaver. The cord was small & easily fit in my travel shaver bag. Phillips/Norelco should provide this feature on a shaver this expensive). There is an LED indicator in the handle that indicates battery charge level when the shaver is turned on.

This shaver is very light weight, easy to grip & feels good in your hand. When I first turned it on, I thought it wasn't working properly, so I turned it off & back on again. I finally held it next to my ear & could hear that it was running. This shaver is unbelievably quiet! For my first shave I wanted to give the shaver a real workout & so I let my beard grow for a full two and a half days. It cut through my beard with little effort. One nice feature I have noticed about the Phillips/Norelco shavers is that none of them have ever grabbed or pulled the hair on my face. This will sometimes occur with some shavers if your beard has grown for a few days. It took a little longer to cut my two day beard than my old Braun shaver which has the loud but very fast cutting linear motor. However, I got a very close comfortable shave.

The SensoTouch 3D shaving system excels at shaving your neck & jaw line. This is the biggest challenge for any electric shaver. With the Panasonic & Braun shavers, I frequently had to go over & over these areas to get those stubborn long hairs. The SensoTouch 3D shaving system easily removes the long hairs due to the way the heads conform to your neck & jaw line. This is a major benefit for the 1250X40. The high speed linear motors of the Braun & Panasonic shavers will plow through a thick heavy beard faster than the Phillips/Norelco shavers. However, your overall shave time will be about the same since the SensoTouch 3D shaving system will shave your neck & jaw line without repeated strokes.

The SensoTouch 3D shaving system's independent floating heads also makes it easier to shave the area between your mustache & nose. This was a real negative on previous versions of Phillips/Norelco shavers. It is now much easier & with a little practice I'm able to shave right up to my side burns & mustache without that dreaded "ooops".

This shaver is extremely easy to clean. Simply flip up the heads & run warm water over them & they come completely clean. Another nice feature that your wife will love, is that the stubble stays inside the heads. No more dirty sink or countertop.

This shaver can be used wet or dry. Which is best? Although I haven't tried this shaver wet, my past experience has always been that a dry shave is closer & more comfortable with an electric shaver. Always wash your face with soap & water & dry completely before shaving. This will give the closest & most comfortable shave.

Will the 1250X40 shave as close as a safety blade razor? No. No electric shaver is able to cut the hair below the skin like a blade razor. However any of the top line shavers made by Panasonic, Braun or Phillips/Norelco will come very close. (Blade razor shave = 10, Phillips/Norelco 1250X40 = 9.5)

The Phillips/Norelco 1250X40 is a quick and easy shave system. It will give you a close smooth shave. If shaving ever irritates your skin you're going to love this shaver. It is the most comfortable shave I've ever gotten.

BTW. Every electric shaver manufacturer says to try their shaver for at least 30 days. Your face will have time to adjust to the new shaver. True or False? At first I thought this was just another empty sales pitch. However after many years & many different shavers I find this to be true. I'm not sure if it is due to the fact of your face adjusting to the shaver or the fact that you gain experience in using that particular shaver. But the quality of your shave will improve over time using a new shaver. So don't throw in the towel for at least 30 days.

I've been using the traditional Norelco razors for decades and have been satisfied. They've all lasted a long time and done a good job.



This new 3D razor is much more comfortable and does the job significantly faster than the older models. It's also a wet-dry razor that you can use in the shower or with shaving cream, although I haven't tried either of those options yet.



I bought the least expensive 3D model since the only difference with the more expensive models are more sophisticated power indicators. The three indicator lights with the last one turning red when it's time to recharge are quite sufficient. Go with the model 40 and save your money. - Philips Norelco - Norelco - Electric Razors - 3d'

Corded Tools - multimaster, oscillating saw


I probably would have given this 4 starts -1 for the ridiculous price but the 2 stars given by the other opinion made me boost mine. This tool DOES include the quick change - there is a different lesser model that does not but this model does. This made quick work of cutting some drywall that would have been a royal PIA to cut with other means given that it was already hung and I needed to cut the drywall all the way into the back corner which would be impossible with almost any other tool - so I'd have had to get it out with a chisel - in my bizarre situation there was also metal corner bead in the inside corner again no problem for this tool and would have been nearly impossible any other way.



I also had a job where I needed to cut some base molding that was already up and installed - again piece of cake for this guy very difficult with other tools.



Cons - (other than price) it was a bit noisier than I thought it would be - but not bad. Fein MultiMaster 250 Start Power Sanding and Scraping/Cutting Tool

After seeing a Fein presentation a few months ago and loving all but the price we did not buy it. That is until we had the perfect job for it. Thoroughly researched all packages and finally decided to purchase the Start. Used it for a little bit and decided that it was worth returning for the "TOP" package. The "START" does not include the Quick-In feature, plus the "TOP" comes with two more attachments that purchased separately cost $100 or the difference in the two packages. Upgrade, get the nifty Quick-In feature, and two essential attachments. In summary, great tool but I do not recommend the "START" package, hence the 4 instead of 5 stars.

this is a good tool but i sent it back not knowing at the time that this tool does not have the quick release. so i sent it back and order the other one with the quick release.. it is great when you need to cut something that is in close quarters and the sawsall can't get in. the only draw back i see are the blades are costly and don't last long before they start smoking!!

I became interested in this tool after seeing the popular TV infomercial. Because of the price, I started looking online for similar tools offered by other manufacturers to ensure I was making the wisest choice for my needs.



I eventually stumbled across a "Harbor Freight Tools" sale ad that showed a VERY similar tool with a few accessories for $59.99 on sale for $39.99.



So far, I am quite satisfied with my $39.99 "Harbor Freight Tools" alternative. I'm reasonably certain that the Fein MultiMaster tool is nice, but for the price, I think I made the right choice.

This saw was advertised, Multimaster with case, What was shipped was the tool in a cardboard box.When I phoned to question my shipment,I was told that I could buy a case, myself, online. This is not the way the tool was written up in the details on your site. Still frustrated, thanks

I'm not excited about having to pay [...] bucks for any tool, but if you have a particular carpentry problem that the tool will solve easily, then you have to consider it. I had a number of crown moulding cuts that I had to do where the product was already installed. I didn't want to cough up the full price for the quick-change model, so I popped for the 'Start'.



It worked perfectly and I will also use this to remove tile and thinset.

So, a guy could make do with a chisel and put up with the gouges created by an errant sawzall or poorly controlled jig saw, held upside down, or, you could buy one of these things. I would prefer that the blades lasted longer, and that the replacement cost was less, but overall I'm ok with it.

This model does not have the blade quick change system introduced in the Select and Top models.

It is very expensive and after you buy it you will spend a lot on blades. Bosch, Dewalt, where are you? Why are you not competing with your own models.

I do not normally write reviews but in this case I will.

This tool is of the best quality,I see now where dremel has one out.

I have went through dremel tools in a week. Good for models,hobby stuff.

I purchased this Fein tool when they first came out at the recommendation of the local woodworkers supply guy. I have been restoring antique furniture for over 30 yrs. As the store guy said, You will never put this tool back in the case. This is true since every day I find another job it can do. When they first came out the blades were pricey and I bought one for an application and immediatley burned it out cutting hard maple. I called the woodworker supply to complain that the $50 blade lasted for 2 inches in the cut before the teeth fell off. They gave me the direct # to Fein where I got a real person first,NO PRESS 1, explained the problem and was not only sent a replacment blade for the one I burned but the correct blade for the job (2 $50 blades) FREE. They even paid the shipping. Now that's Customer Service! This tool is a Bear. It's been on the job daily for YEARS, trouble free. Viva Fein

Don't settle for a cheaper clone! John Gin

I am looking forward to finally starting to use my Fein. I have been trying to get my order straightened out...finally gave up on that. Unlike a previous customer review, the item I received from my seller (Deerso) did not have the handy Quick Change model even though the item listing for ASIN #B000U8Q812 is "FMM 250Q Basic". ("Q" is the Quick change model.) The tool does have variable speed which is not made clear in the product description. The item was earlier shown with a nice case, mine did not come with that (photo changed now). Accessories are very expensive and very useful with this tool so make sure you get the proper accessories. - Flush Cut - Oscillating Saw - Multimaster - Multi-max'

Wireless Headset - bluetooth headset, bluetooth


I bought this headset specifically to pair with my iPhone. The sound is great and I certainly did not experience the volume issue that a previous reviewer noted. Bluetooth works very well when paired. Most of the time I have to delete the device from the iPhone and allow it to pair as if initially. That is a hassle but works well. The fit is comfortable but the rigid band that connects the ear pieces limits to some extent the flexibility. I have enjoyed a number of phone conversations and that function is so far flawless. I can hear the other party very well and everyone has reported excellent sound on their end. The light weight, comfort and wireless functionality makes this product a winner and well worth the price. Jabra HALO Bluetooth Stereo Headset

I finally took the plunge to buy a stereo bluetooth headset even though there a few choices. I have to preface my review saying I have a small head and very small ear canals so headsets that might fit well on most others are too big for me. I didn't want a cord hanging down on my neck or headphones that fall out when I run. The Jabra Halo is extremely comfortable and secure. It fits very flush so I can even wear a cap over it. My only concern is that it will be too warm to wear in the summertime. The sound is excellent without any interruption. The volume sensor takes a little getting used to since it's not a mechanical volume control but works well. Like the comments of others - the lowest volume may not be low enough for some. I tend to listen at the gym or running outside so my main concern is sufficient loudness and the Halo has that covered. Pairing was easy although I didn't have the headset sides locked into place so I had to call Jabra. I called another time about using the headset to move to the next selection (which can't be done on an iPhone). Both times Jabra tech answered the call immediately and provided excellent help.

Comfortable to wear, but warm. The inside of the headset is lined with a padded velvet, so I wouldn't recommend wearing them if you're going to sweat.



They look amazingly sleek. Low profile, distinctive without being ridiculous.



I had no problems pairing with my iPhone and PC. Calls were clear, both for me and the person on the other end.



Does fold to take up less space, but not *much* less, so other than folding to turn them off, there's almost no reason to do so.



Sound quality was very, very nice, but for some reason, when paired with the iPhone, minimum volume is ridiculously loud. Watching TV on the computer was a pleasant experience, but listening to music was impossible. I don't tend to blare my music anyway, but when the minimum is still louder than my comfortable max, it's time to return the product.



With that said, I'd snatch it back up in a heartbeat if the manufacturer fixed the sound issue*.



(*Edit: 2011 - I'd originally titled this review "Eardrums... I miss them." The volume issue was apparently a problem with Apple's bluetooth software that has since been fixed.)

Let me start be stating that the audio quality was acceptable, both for calls and music, but overall, the design is seriously lacking in the following respects:



1. The power switch is integrated into the headband hinge -a snap open, fold-and-slide affair that feels rather insubstantial and twice collapsed (inadvertently shutting down the radio) while in the process of taking the unit off my head.



2. Beyond the power switch functionality, the folding configuration provides no significant space savings. It's not as though collapsing these headphones will make them any less bulky in a laptop bag or purse.



3. The earpieces do not pivot or swivel at all -basically, if your head isn't a perfect fit (and mine isn't), they don't sit right on your ears and constanly slide off.



4. The software-based, touch sensitive volume control is a profoundly unreliable, counterintuitive gimmick. A hardware dial or rocker switch would have been much better.



5. The headband and earpieces are lined with some kind of synthetic velour that traps lint and fuzz admirably, but doesn't add to the comfort. And finally,



6. You can't control the tracks on an iPod Touch or iPhone 3G/3Gs with it. I know that's not Jabra's fault -that is a problem with Apple's current version of A2DP, so I don't consider it a knock on this product per se. I just mention it for the benefit of anyone planning to use these with one of those devices.



If you're really in love with the aesthetics of this unit, consider the Jaybird Sportsband. They're $10 cheaper, and they have basically the same features, but the earpieces adjust to the shape of your cabeza and you get real, tactile controls.

Wow, I will be the first to say that I was very hesitant about getting these, mainly due to the reviews and remarks in regards to how they work with apple products older apple products do not work with it, but thats cause the bluetooh signal is updated.. so blam apple or upgrade. I decided to rsik it and try them out and if worst came to worst retrun if needed. I am so glad I did, the rumors or comments abotuhow they are difficult to sync with an ipad are all false. I saw these on wired magazines podcast and they were very accurate on every aspect. The headphones surprisely have amazing sound quality versus my apple earpods, and actually even better tahn my seinhueser high quality plug ins. Syncing was a breeze, just hold button down and it will show up on ipad an done. Battery life is better than expected as well.I am averaging about 8hrs. I also love that the charge time is only 2hrs. the touch sensors work fine, the only advice I would give being that it is a wireless signal.. is give it a second or two when changin volume n dont go crazy tapping the plus area on the ear piece, it will get loud n blow your ear off.

Overall these are the best bluetooth headphones I have ever owned and used. Despite all the good points they are some flaws. Like many other reviewers the first thing I notice was the shut off feature which requires you to snap and pull on the headset. Immediately it feels against nature to do this.. but so far I havenot had an issue. Many feel they will break over time, overal I feel that if taken care of they will last quite awhile..just don't be a brute with them.

For me personally my biggest quam is the charging cable! seriously it is the words smallest charging cable ever, I am curious how they expect you to use them while they charge which it does allow and is nice if possible. I am hoping that maybe they charge while corded to the phone or ipad. I am not sure. I plan on contact jabra and seeing if maybe I was just sent a plug that is too short. Once I know better I will leave an update.



As you can see the pros outweigh the cons. and for the price amazon is selling them for, you cant beat it.



Pros:

wireless music

Light

Comfortable

Able to connect two devices, ipad n phone ...yeah me.

Amazing sound quality

Nice felt lining

Quick charge time

Awesome design

Comes wiht a soft carrying case.

Usb cables,

Carry case for 1 dollar available wiht amazon.. it is nice as well.



Cons:

shutting off feels like it will wear the material

Magellan Gps - magellan gps


The mount is a quality product just not for the very large roadmate 1700. Even the factory windshield mount is not sufficient to hold that large gps still. I did however use the mount on my 2010 Tahoe and it was perfect for the Garmin by using the vent mount and Garmin holder.

The bottom line is, if your gps is larger than 4.25 inchs wide it will shake. Also the mount doesn't work on vents that pivot horizontally, such as many of the chevrolet trucks, unless you pin the vent by drilling a small hole inserting a very small very short nail to lock it in place. For a small gps I would rate the mount 5 stars but not for the 1700. I hope this review is of value to you. Magellan Roadmate 1700 1475T 1470 1445T 1440 1430 1424 1420 SE4 1412 1400 1340 1220 1212 1210 1200 GPS Vent Mount Kit by ChargerCity w/360° Viewing Adjustment GPS Holder Cradle, Enhanced Spring Vent Mount & Micro SD USB Card Reader (ChargerCity® Manufacture Replacement Warranty)

I think this item is not very well designed overall. It's got too many adjustments, making it overly heavy and large. It's not very easy to take off - the clips are hard to remove, and the connection for the two parts (connected by a ball and socket) is cumbersome also; you need to unscrew a tightening device, and it often comes off completely when you try to do it. I just squeeze the thing to its smallest setting, making it look like a cell phone holder, hoping a thief would assume the cell phone is with me, not hidden under the seat or in the glove compartment like they might assume if it looks like a GPS mount.



The clips are too big for my Acura vents, but fortunately, it will connect to a previous holder I had for an old Garmin, which ends with a ball about the same size as the one that comes with this, but is a little less elaborate. It does work with my son's old Camry, and with my wife's Lexus.

I love this mount! This mount allows me to have full view of the screen and does not force me to have to block any of my windshield. I would recommend that the manufacturer/seller would enclose instructions as I inserted the GPS incorrectly for the first week or so, maybe it's just me.... But I love it and think it is worth every cent! I would never go back to the windshield mount!

<3

One of the main problems with the mount that comes with most GPS devices is that 1.) It never stays put and it always falling off with that stupid suction cup on the windshield thing and 2.) People who steal GPS devices know that you have one simply because of the mark that the suction cup leaves. This vent-mount does aaway with all of that, plus it doesn't block your view when you are driving. money well spent.

It didn't perform as the literature said it would.



For one thing, setting a route was very difficult. Another thing, the POI's I was looking for on a trip to Eastern Canada weren't there.



Overall, it didn't seem to work in logical sequence. Very uneven. For example, from my home in Western NY, I wanted to go around the east side of Lake Ontario and cross into Canada in Northern NY. It routed me around the west/north side of the lake, even though I added intermediate points to Northern NY. It wouldn't let go if it's chosen route, even if I sequenced the route to go my preferred way.



I returned it for a Garmin Nuvi 465T. Much better.



The large screen was great. However the rest of the unit didn't perform - Magellan Gps'

Voltage Transformer - 220v, voltage transformer


The voltage transformer is heavy, sturdy and reliable. I am in Switzerland now, and I bought these for barrage of devices brought from the U.S; I plugged in a humidifier, a blender, Vonage phone, laptop, shaver (all at once), and so far no issues whatsoever.



The only catch is the wall converter from US to Euro (so that you can plug the thing into the wall jack) - It is too wide for Switzerland (would work in e.g. Germany). So I had to spend a couple of euros for a converter in a local store. Other than that, no issues in the first 45 days.... Goldsource® ST-1000 Step Up/Down Voltage Transformer Converter - AC 110/220 V - 1000 Watt

I moved from Germany to USA so I have a few 230V devices to run on 110V.

This converter works absolutely inconspicious.

You just turn it on, plug a german device in and it just works. No noise no hum at all.

Good product. Highly recommended.

Got this so I could hook up my 110v 52" LCD HDTV and LG blu-ray player here in Europe. I plugged in a power strip to the 110v outlet, and it powers both items without a hitch. Also extremely quiet. If the entire house is silent you can hear the slightest low hum but as soon as the tv comes on then it's undetectable. Very happy with this purchase and may buy another.

I bought this item to replace one that I schlepped all the way from Korea, which blew its fuse one fine day never to work again.



The recommendation for this product if it is to be used continuously is that one should select a wattage that is at least double that of the appliance one intends to power. I selected the 1 KW unit to drive my 220V Hamilton Beach stand mixer, which I bought abroad, and which is rated at 550W.



The transformer is very sturdy indeed, well built, and all-in-all a professional grade unit that I am sure will answer my needs for years to come. It is larger than you would expect, comes with two multi-format outlets conveniently located in the front of the unit. Mine also shipped with a US/two-pin converter plug. The unit lives unobtrusively on my kitchen counter in the corner behind the stand mixer.



An added bonus for those who will require this feature, is that the unit is not only a step-up transformer (I.e. it steps 110V up to 220V), but it can be used where 220/250V is supplied to step-down the voltage to drive your 110V appliance(s).



I recommend this unit without any hesitation; in fact I have just purchased the Goldsource® Step Up and Down Voltage Converter 500W unit to power some table lamps that have been gathering dust in my basement. At $20 or so for the transformer, it beats having to buy two new table lamps!

We moved back from overseas and our surround sound had 240 voltage. We tried a converter from a local store, but it burned up within a day. We have been using this one for a few months now and have had no problems. It works great!

I purchased this item to use a high end European coffee maker which requires 220 Volt electric. The step converter works perfectly fine as of now. I have been using the converter several times a day to brew coffee five minutes at a time. So far I did not have any problems. The unit is a bit heavy but compact enough to slide into a corner in the kitchen. It is simple to operate.

Well - I got these along with the ST 500 - for different appliances and their power needs - the best thing about these - are they are sturdy/ last for ever / Do exactly as promised. They do make a small noise when they are in use. But they have been going so strong for the last 6 months. I think they do last if you are careful about 2 things - the place you live should not have too much variation in voltage/ power and also make sure to switch them off -after every use. (no need to run them when you are not using them isnt it?).



The best thing - I am going to be bringing these back with me to states - to use them for the UK appliance that I bought here.

See below my review for the ST 500 -



These have been the best money spent. My hubby is posted to work in the UK for the next 2 years. So there comes the point where you have to if you want to buy all your appliances again in the UK or just go for this Step up converted.

Wow - what a investment - SAVED ME the $$$$$ in buying things in the UK. I used it along with my docking station, my blender, my Sandwich maker. This been going steady for the last 6 months - no issues wats so ever. Go for these. Really worth it. - 220v - Relocation - Voltage Transformer - Europe'

Fitness Power Tower - chin up bar, dip station


At under $100 this chin up/tricep dip is a great value. The item arrived without any damage and was easy to assemble with one person without any additional tools.



I am 240 lbs (250 is the weight limit for this equipment) and the feeling is solid during use. Stamina 1690 Power Tower

Just received this awesome purchase yesterday and I have to say I'm impressed. First off, the delivered packaging box was slightly damaged but thankfully nothing inside was harmed. Every nut, bolt, washer, etc. was intact and no missing parts! The tools needed to put the tower together were included. It will take about an hour or so to complete solo.



I'm 5'9 / 180lbs and it does not wobble during use for me. I did the push-ups, dips and pull-ups and it was stable throughout. As for the foam grips around parts of the handles, etc. they are comfortable for me. I don't have large hands so that's probably a factor. I also get a good reach / extension from the pull-bars so my reps with them feel alot better vs. my previous door frame bar.



I did alot of research for power towers before making this purchase. So for the price + free shipping, this tower gets the job done for me!

This pull up bar sounds like a much more sturdy stand than it truly is. I got it to do P90X program. I am 6 feet tall and weigh 200 lbs. The weight limit is 250, but the whole structure bends slightly when I do pull ups. The height is actually lower than the door jam pull up bar (or the same -- very close and frustrating). I have previously owned a Weider pull up bar in multi-station home gym, and it was much superior. The Weider construction never "bent" or ever felt unstable. I constantly feel like this is going to collapse thanks to the weaker hollow tube construction (tubes more thin unlike the heavy metal of a Weider). All in all, you can spend just a few dollars more and get a Weider. The only advantage this unit has is simple construction and portability. I've had difficulty moving the Weider equipment, and actually sold the last one at a substantial loss when I moved. I just wanted a simple pull up unit, and expected this to be more sturdy. It was a total waste of about $100, when I could have gotten THIS level of pull up bar in a much cheaper door jam unit. I do not recommend this for adults doing pull-ups. For children -- yes. The push up feature is also stupid. $20 push up hand grips do the job. Again, useless features and just a cheap alternative to Weider. I suppose one gets what one pays for and I was stupid in making this purchase. That's the bottom line -- it's made me feel stupid for purchasing it cause the unit is so lame.

I was reluctant to buy based on a few reviews from others about stableness. I'm 6'1, 185 and needed something that could handle a lot of pull-ups. After purchasing and setting it up I couldn't be happier. The tools they give you to tighten everything down aren't the best, I suggest getting a wrench and a ratchet...would work MUCH better. If you are sure to tighten everything down really good, then you won't have any problems. I suspect that those who were complaining about wobbliness didn't tighten everything down good enough. The nylon lined nuts make you think it's tight but continue until you can't turn the nuts anymore. Again, much easier with a ratchet. I'm pleased..couldn't have gotten better for the money.

Dips and pullups are what I wanted to be able to do and this is a great piece of equipment to do just that. It's sturdy, easy to assemble, and doesn't take up too much room. I am 6'3" and 220 lbs and it works for me no problem.

I specifically wanted a PT to do only dips and pull ups that was not overly priced, yet structurally solid. I feel like I won on all counts with this one.



As a point of reference, I am 6'1" and weigh 180#.



1) Price is very good. Its hard to get more competetive than $99 with free shipping.

2) Assembly seemed intimidating at first given the somewhat poorly drawn pictures/instructions, but after I separated all of the parts, it took me two Southpark episodes to complete it without any assistance using only a socket wrench and an adjustable wrench. It comes with 2 wrench like devices if you don't have any.

3) I put it together on a carpet so there is some unevenness to the foundation similar to an uneven table at a restaurant.

4) Despite #3, there is absolutely no sway with pullups and minimal sway with dips. The sway with dips has absolutely no negative impact on my performance. I use it on a carpet without a mat.

5) Counterintuitive to the lower price, the over unit feels very solid and is made of what appears to be strong steel.

6) The only negative I can think of is that the grips on the pullups feel as if they have a smaller diameter than the dip grips (as another reviewer pointed out). Dips feel comfortable, but pullups feel odd - almost as if they hurt my hands - but not quite.

7) The "cheating bar" to stand on ensures that I will continue to progress beyond my meager ability to currently perform 5 pullups without assistance.



I am pleased with this purchase and would recommend it. - Chin Up - Power Tower - Dip Station - Chin Up Bar'

The overall size is smaller than the original provided by Samsung,which make it more difficult to fit over my ear.And because it's smaller, it make the device not fit properly in my ear. They are very fragile. I have broken one just by scratching my ear. Good thing I have seven more. 50% Off Sale! 8 Samsung Ear Hook Earhooks Hooks (4b & 4c) Clip Loop "COMPATIBLE" with: Wep450 Wep460 Wep470 Wep475 Wep410 Wep185 Wep250 Wep350 (For Bluetooth Headset). Designed & Manufactured By Bluetooth Fixer TM (Not OEM)

I really like these ear pieces. And for the price you can't beat the deal. Will have them for along time. Bought the package for the price. And they are lasting longer than I thought they would. Thank you!

I have used samsung WEP 470 and it works great, but it does have a problem with the ear hook breaking so I just buy a bunch of the plastic earhooks and when I saw these I ordered... bad choice, they are definitely NOT Samsung, they are a cheep knockoff that doesn't hold the earphone in the same place and hurts, but for the price it wasn't worth returning so I thought I would leave a review. Don't waste your money on these go ahead and look for the OEM clips.

I have 3 samsung bluetooths in the family, it took about a month for all the earhooks to break with no replacement from samsung available, I was not looking forward to paying $$ for the samsung oem earhook which would probably break once again in a month or two. These were a bargain and are working great, Better than the originals! I have yet to break one in over 2 months of use, 2 thumbs up!

This set was a perfect replacement for the ear piece that broke on my blue tooth. The price was amazing and now I'll have plenty of replacements should I need them. I also like that it came with 2 "stiffnesses". One is more bendable than the other, it is just your preference and how you like it to fit on your ear. The product was shipped quickly and in perfect condition. I would definitely recommend these.

I can't find replacement earhooks anywhere in this town, so the keyword search was entertaining. Product is exactly as described and arrived in just over 48 hours! The alternative was a new bluetooth headset for my phone, or an ear transplant. This was cheaper; and less bloody. Mal Reynolds I ain't! - Ear Hook - Bluetooth - Samsung - Accessories'
