The actual plastic bottle is fairly cheap. I haven't tried to take a look to see if the filer will screw into another similar type of bottle. How effective does it filer? I have no idea. One of those I guess, I'll take their word for it. I'm not testing acidity and PH balances lol...The replacement filter come with a clear durable cap. Yet the original bottle comes with this holder cap that actually damaged the filter and made it useless go figure.... Otherwise, hold a lot of water, extra filer doesn't hurt as I drink from a picket so I figured this would be a great additional filter for the water I drink....If you can get it on sale like I did, why not.

Nothing spectacular about this surge protector. Its perfect for that small area under the desk with out the long chord attached to it. I feel as if this could have been a bit cheaper though...

I have owned activity trackers and this one is pretty decent. It’s very sturdy, doesn't look corny (cheap), syncs quite fine with my android phone, and does just about what the $149+ fitbit and other trackers do already, waterproof,trackes sleep, etc..etc... I love that when you set it up it asks what time do you usually go to bed, and for how long. So if you forget to set it to the sleep mode before you go to bed, it will know that you were sleeping due to the inactivity and the set parameters that, that is your usual bedtime and track it.
I have never owned a heart rate monitor band so this was new and took some homework. Very easy to use, and wow, definitely wished I would have used one a long time ago to get a better reading of my calories burned for my workouts. So this bad boy automatically syncs your workout to your MyfitnessPal from the activity data off the heart band monitor for an pretty accurate calorie burn.
I seriously wish that I would have bought the 2nd generation bundle and spent the extra I don’t know? 20 bucks? Why? No backlight…yeah I learned to work my way around it, but it can be annoying when going to bed, checking the time, syncing, and well just wanting to look at your progress in the dark…yeah not cool. For this reason the battery life on this bad boy is amazing. This is not the end of the world, but for 20 bucks, I’d say get the one with the backlight and take advantage of a great tracker, especially for the one with the bundle. Feel free to ask questions that I maybe didn’t cover in my review.
Also, the app takes some time to configure. Kind of funky, maybe the iphone one is better who knows. All these company put more resources into making the apps for trackers more user friendly. God knows why. One major thing that I had to figure out. The tracker WILL NOT track an activity with the heart rate monitor unless it was for at least 15 minutes. If you’re going to lift weights do not wear it on your wrist. Clip to your shoes, or just put it in your pocket. It will record steps if you’re doing curls, shoulder presses….weird.. I wore two different smart watches on two different occasions with the tracker and the steps were only off by 15 steps at the end of the night… I can live with that..Pretty accurate. ALso if your butt hasnt moved it will display bars of red until it fills up...basically get up and move...(wont do this during night mode of course)..great motivator to get up

Save your money. I bought this because it was 50% off, and said hey why not. Tracks steps great, tracks sleep so-so. YET, after 2 weeks in at least the area around the band that houses the actual flash broke. So I had to switch over to the clip it came with. I kid you not, the clip fell of my jeans within 2 hours of putting it on. If it was a bit more sturdier made of more lasting material this would be a very economical straight to the point activity tracker. You get what you pay for.

Good Charge, sometimes quirky
on December 28, 2015
Posted by: Norman
Verified Purchase:Yes
I wish I would have gotten this sooner, I just couldn't justify the price tag that it goes for. Got it for a great sale during black friday, wish I had gotten 2. It is very convenient as you really never have to look for usb adapters, cords. Once you have it plugged in don't have to remove it, unless you want to change its location. I love that I walk in and just drop my phone on it and it charges. It does have its quirky moments that it stop charging (once in a great while)..mainly due to the positioning of the phone on the charger. Charges well, it also stops charging your phone once its gotten a full charge. If you can get it on sale, worth the buy. I use a s6 with it.

MacBook Air features fourth-generation Intel Core processors with stunning graphics, all-day battery life*, ultrafast flash storage, and great built-in apps. It's thin, light and durable enough to take everywhere you go — and powerful enough to do everything once you get there.

Little Expensive, but Great Product
on December 26, 2014
Posted by: Norman
Verified Purchase:Yes
PROS: Lightweight, easy to use (set-up), quality product backed up by a good company, user-friendly, typing is easy as day with the thinner edge towards your track-pad. It makes it easier on the hands/wrist., portability, Holds a great charge really does as advertised, charges quite fast too.
CONS: Price is ridiculous, really is. I know that it's a great product (speaking as a previous imac'/apple owner) and makes up the slack on certain things that PC is notorious for failing on , but jeez $$. Price for size is not justifiable $$...ports are very low in number, granted its a small computer and you should know how many ports your getting going in to your purchase, but still kind of sucks....BIG one screen, and I'm not talking about size, its obvious how big it is, I'm talking about resolution, it really is nothing to write home about, which is very disappointing once again especially dishing out a nice buck for a 11.6 inch screen and being that's a major use of the laptop overall. Speed is also nothing fancy, but then again for its size it does do a good job as long as you don't overload the RAM
OVERALL: Its A GREAT BUY if you can afford it, I wish I could have dished out the extra bucks for the 13 inch one, but I was on a budget going back to school. This is really a great buy, but keep in mind its not a big laptop, and cannot handle a big workload. Email, Web surfing, Music, School papers and pictures is its limit..Want to get fancy or need more, get an imac or Macbok Pro. Mac's have a better life span in comparison to PC's in my personal experience if you don't put tons of unnecessary software and go on websites that aren't too friendly if you catch my drift. Yes macs get viruses too.

Make every walk count with this vivomove Classic fitness watch. It has a step bar that displays the percentage of progress from your goal as you move throughout the day. Check activity stats and history stored in this vivomove Classic fitness watch via the Garmin Connect Mobile app to keep track of your performance.
Does it track sleep and activity
Yes, it tracks your sleep. As far as activity, the only activity it tracks is your steps. I don't think you would want to use this particular watch to run with as the band is leather. Wouldn't want to get it dirty. You might want to go with the sport version of this one if you plan to run with it.
