Book Reviews and Money Saving Tips

This is very cute and there are a lot of charms.  It’s suggested age is 6+ but I think 10 plus is more realistic.  The charms are very small and they involve sticking them together so you are looking at some serious manual dexterity.  The rings to hang the charms are shown being twisted with fingers.  Again, I’m not sure most kids have the dexterity to do this without a pair of tiny pliers such as jewelry pliers.  I like the idea but I think the age recommendation needs to be upped. I f reviewing a product, it may have been received free of charge. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.

Orbit 56805 Precision Arc Gear Drive Sprinkler  with Adjustable Knobs, Gray I guess for the price, I expected more.  This is ok, it works as advertised but the adjustment is a little cranky.  It does not rotate smoothly to place the tabs that restrict the area of spray.  Conceptually it is sound, trying to limit the water to some areas and put more on others with the same unit.   The base does allow a stable platform for the spray, sprayers with one leg can swivel to an area you don’t want watered. (like the windows, LOL)  This is better than what I was using.  ·       Unique sprinkler that adjusts its watering path to Custom shapes, allowing you to spray Only what plants and areas need the hydration, while also cutting down on water waste ·      12 easy-to-grip adjustable knobs, so you can set your watering area with Precision and exactness ·      Adjustable from partial- to full-circle (30 - 360 degrees) with whisper-quiet spray action ·      Hose swivel for

Nicefeel Electric Dental Water Flosser 600ml Capacity Quite Design （ 50db ） Anti-leakage Professional Countertop Dental Oral Irrigator with 7 Multifunctional Tips for Adult and Kids This unit is very nice.  It has many tools and the pressure seems to be as good or better than my last waterpik. The tools from my Waterpik brand flosser fit this unit which is nice as they tend to get lost.   I’m a believer in these things and this seems like a good one at a more competitive price.

This does seem like good quality.  The cord on the trimmer is considerably heavier than on my old trimmer.  The attachments snap on easily and there are many of them.   The attachments feel a bit flimsy but seem durable enough.  The trimmer got some areas of my hair that defied my old trimmer.   After using this trimmer there was no need for scissors work to clean up the areas that the old trimmer refused to cut.  Consider what a haircut cost and also consider that most guys with hair loss take around 5 minutes in a salon chair and you have a veritable bonanza in this unit.  From the vendor: This all-in-one grooming kit is ideal for haircuts, beard trimming, & body grooming, featuring self sharpening precision ground blades that cut through all hair types and an easy to use compact size with soft comfort grip for excellent cutting control MAXPOWER HIGH-TORQUE MOTOR.

FIRST—do look at the instructional videos before you start.  You really need to get an idea of how this works.  It took 40 minutes for it to charge the first time so either get it out and charge it before you give it as a gift or have a patient gift recipient.   It startled me when I did the shake down start up.   It sounded like a demented swarm of hyperactive bees.  It is not easy to control and at one point I was looking up at my 17 foot ceiling and wondering if I had to wait until the battery died to get it down.  For whatever reason it came back to me, kind of like a not very bright pet.   This should keep your average tech interested gift recipient amused for hours and I don’t mean just kids. Color me giddy with excitement! From the Vendor: CONTROL WITH YOUR HANDS - NO TOUCHING NEEDED: Unleash the Air Hogs Supernova using the power of your hands. Equipped with an intelligent on-board system it has motion sensitive lights and sensors that respond to you. No r

I like K'NEX. I have always liked that they were made locally. The box does say now that 99% USA with the motor made in China and the parts sorted in the Dominican Republic . The 4WD aspect of this is pretty cool.  Just like in the real world, the 4WD gives the toy more ommph on getting over obstacles.  The motor battery compartment was a little tricky. The compartment door won't go back on if the batteries aren't inserted correctly. The instructions for assembly are excellent which is one of the reasons I like K'NEX.
