Better now with a free row mode
on February 15, 2020
Posted by: Kris
Verified Purchase:Yes
Initially, this product was a lesson learned in doing proper research. Although it is very high quality, a major downside was prior to 2020, the product required a paid subscription to use. About $30 to $40 a month. However, due to many customer complaints, hydrorow updated the software to allow a free row mode, which allows the user to change resistance and keeps track of time and strokes. Since then, it is a much better experience.

Fiancee loves it
on February 15, 2020

Verified Purchase:Yes
No doubt the price is a little steep for this hair product; however, you get what you pay for. My fiancee loves the power and quality of this unit. It's noticeably stronger than cheaper hair dryers. The stand is a nice touch to keep it organized.

Great for long drives
on February 15, 2020
Posted by: Kris
Verified Purchase:Yes
I do a lot of driving so Alexa in my car is very useful. It is easy to setup using the Alexa app and follows nearly all of the same commands as Alexa devices at home. The only con I would say this far is trying to speak to Alexa while playing music or other media at a high volume. Getting it to register voice requires yelling or waiting for a pause in the action. Not sure of anyway this could be avoided, so it is a minor inconvenience.

This TV is good quality considering the price. It shows a little motion blur during action scenes, but otherwise it has great picture and sound.

Has potential but falls short
on December 24, 2019
Posted by: Kris
Verified Purchase:Yes
I'd like to start by saying that this product has a lot of potential to be something great. The device itself is very easy to use, and the tutorials are very helpful. However, where it is lacking in its current state is the app and exam submission process. The primary issue I had with the self-screening process was exam submission via the app. Once my exam was submitted I was directed to a payment screen, which I completed, and that's where I encountered a problem. The first time, I realized I would like to go back a screen; however, upon doing so, the app cancelled the exam altogether! This means redoing all of the exam measurements. I redid the exam measurements, and the second time I proceeded past the payment screen to a point where I received notification of who the physician was reviewing my results. Unfortunately, the app force closed, and upon restarting it, I found my exam results were submitted, but I never received feedback from the physician. I tried calling customer service; however, the agent I spoke with was not very knowledgeable and pretty unenthusiastic about helping. He stated there was no way for him to resubmit my exams stuck in limbo and that I would have to do it again. That was the last straw for me; I wasn't doing the exam for a third time. I have since returned the product

Phenomenal product

This device is fantastic. Extremely powerful and effective. Well worth the money. The device arm and percussion intensity are adjustable depending on the need. The percussion intensity can be amplified by the amount of downward pressure the user uses and that being said, never been injured by it.

Pitcher Perfect
on April 13, 2019
Posted by: Kris
from Chicago, IL
Verified Purchase:Yes
Bought this pitcher to force me to drink more water. The description is accurate; the pitcher is leak proof. It's easy to refill, though a little tall, so your fridge shelving may need adjustment. However, the pitcher can be laid on its side since the cap seal is good enough to prevent leakage.

Does the Job
on April 13, 2019
Posted by: Kris
from Chicago, IL
Verified Purchase:Yes
I travel quite often and experience a variety of different environments, so I felt I needed additional protection for my phone. The pouch seems to do the job. It's robust and made of quality material. The BB description for this item is a little vague when it comes to sizing it for phones. I have a Galaxy S10+ and it fits snug, even with the leather case attached. I would recommend this product

Great Plugs
on November 29, 2018
Posted by: Kris
from Chicago, IL
Verified Purchase:Yes
I was skeptical to buy these plugs based on reviews from other customers. Their concerns focused on the plug's inability to remain tight on the speaker wire. I applied these plugs to the Rocketfish cable, which comes with heavy sheathing. I found that if I applied the crimping caps correctly, the wire was very tight into the plug. So far, I have had no issues with this product based on my materials and application.

What is the size of this? As it is the XL it should be 7” x 4”. But that is specified by SKU 6167294

It is the XL. Fits my Galaxy S10+ just fine.

Directions state that stripping the speaker wire is unnecessary. How are they supposed to get a good connection if none of the wire is exposed? Has anyone used these with out stripping the wire?

I used these plugs with Rocketfish™ - 100' Speaker Wire - 16AWG - Gold and found that I did not have to strip the wire. Rather the pin within the plug fits right between the wire. If you use the white colored crimping caps, these plugs will stay on nice and snug.
