Unfortunately not worth it
931947
I bought this as my 'heavy duty' ball along with a 'cheaper round ball'.  Boy was I wrong.  This is good and heavy and the materials feel good.  BUT my large dogs can pick it up easily by the yellow top.  They can also hold it on its side because of the top and that gives perfect leverage to slide open the treat shoot.  So while it feels and looks fancy and expensive, the design is a waste and not worth the price.  It doesn't keep them amused and they can easily dump out the treats within 10 minutes.  Go for the 'cheaper' round balls that they actually have to work for unless you have a silly stupid dog.

Man, I was excited to get this. It doesn't actually work. The softer herbs pull right through without being stripped form the stems, regardless of what hole you select. I tried them all. It is honestly an interesting piece of green plastic that cost way too much, considering the fact that it's useless! I use a lot of fresh herbs and was really hoping that this would be a useful time saving tool. So sad.

Functionally, the title covers in a nutshell the idea of the text behind this book.  You will get next to no help in doing as the title of the book indicates (in fact I got exactly NO help from this book regarding the issues/problems I have doing puzzles).  While the most interesting parts of the book, the contents of Reynaldo's texts can be readily found in any number of pages on the web.  Furthermore, the most valuable part of this book is the included puzzles, and in fact constitutes almost the full value of the book.  Unfortunately, this title costs much too much to be doing the puzzles within it directly without photocopying them.  As for most puzzle books (what this really is), the cost needs to be about 15-20% of what it is (maybe $2 or $3).  Beyond the puzzles, this book was absolutely worthless compared to the cost of it, and unfortunately this has turned into a purchase I have regretted.

It seemed to have great potential.... but I wasted my money.  I should have read the previous reviews before I bought it.  I went off a review on another website about the best smart water bottles.

I agree with other reviews here, the app is not great.  I got it to pair easily, but during the day when I would try to sync it, it would say it couldn't find the device, even though my phone was practically touching the cup.  I had to remove the device from pairing and re-add it  for it to work.

The app asks for your weight to accurately suggest the right amount of daily water intake, but it maxes out at 200 lbs.

I have turned off all notifications on the app, but the stupid cup STILL vibrates and beeps all day long.  I even unpaired the cup altogether, and it still vibrates and beeps.  There is no off button on the cup, so i'll just have to wait for it to run out of battery.  I've tried finding instructions on how to make them stop, but the only instructions I can find online are for different Moikit products.

The lip of the cup is far too thick... I end up spilling out the sides of my mouth when I drink.

The cup only holds a maximum of 13 oz... so I'm constantly refilling it all day long.

Long story short, this is soooo not worth the money they charge for it.

We were Unable to calibrate no matter what we tryed, window to return has passed so we are stuck with this toy.
Really wanted to love it, unfortunately it is not a good value.

I REALLY wanted to love this, I had such high hopes. After charging it, I tried to use it based on what I'd read and... Nothing. It was nice. But not "OH MY GOD!" Definitely not anything worth the price.

Assuming it was a case of user error, I did a ton of reading and research on the settings and proper placement. Trying again(and again, and again, and again), I was just left tense and frustrated. Definitely not the purpose of the product.

I was hoping to love these, as they're cheaper than what we otherwise use, but they're not really worth it. I bought them in lavender (like my usual brand), & though the packaging did indeed say lavender there was no scent at all. While annoying, this was no deal-breaker, but these pads are too thin, too flimsy, & just not great overall. My puppy is ~4 lbs & these pads couldn't handle more than two goes before needing to be thrown away, which is unacceptable for my use & the price, which simply isn't cheaper enough than my usual brand to make the switch. Could be useful as backups or short-term use.

I wanted to like this.  Right now we are using money as a tool for learning math.  I thought it would be fun to use the counter to illustrate counting by 10s, 5s, and even 25, and offer a motivational visual for saving money at the same time.  Unfortunately, in the 5 minutes we spent trying it out, we had about a 15% success rate at actually getting the counter to work properly.  Either it double-counted or it didn't count the coin at all.  It was more confusing having to make the necessary adjustments to correct the readout than it would have been to just count the change.  The kids were frustrated, then overwhelmed, then bored.  I really try not to load up our house with unnecessary and/or cheaply made junk, and this was a strong reminder of why.  The item was a gift, and a thoughtful one at that (since we homeschool), so I was really hoping that it would be useful, but no such luck.  Now that I see the price tag, I am even more disappointed.

The primary thing my kids learned about money from this product was not to waste any of it on novelty items.

Aimed at an 8+ year audience, this product is supposed to be educational and at the same time end up being functional once assembled.

The project itself of putting this together, I am not going to lie, was quite fun and entertaining. However, seeing how this is built and actually putting the pieces together, makes you realize how flimsy the end result will be. And it is.

The end result is really disappointing, the original intention was that once assembled my kid would keep them, which he did, but he barely uses them and prefers his old ear-buds he is more comfortable with. The set lost its appeal once assembled. The idea is novel but really not very practical, the required batteries add weight to the set and the pulsing lights add no value whatsoever. Though I would like to be fair and speak of its educational value, the set of instructions is pretty straightforward.

While I understand the educational value this product is supposed to offer, I really would not recommend it if your intention is to end up with a fully functional headphones set. There may be better options out there for the same price (already assembled and better made than this one)

Bought for daughter for Christmas. Unfortunately it was a waste of money. The item is a hassle to program and it doesn't report calories burned accurately. Unfortunately the return window passed for me but we've since gotten the fitbit and it is definitely worth the extra money.

I've had two of these the first one just stopped working one day so we got another.  (A fluke, right?)  The second just died.  Less than 6 months old and it's scrap.  During the time that it worked, I loved it.  Unfortunately, it's too expensive to consider disposable.  Also unfortunate is the lack of a comparable product.

I didn't find the item to be worth its cost. The clip handles broke (we've only had it for about a month at this point), and when we lift it to strain...it doesn't work very well at all. The holes get clogged really easy. I find the only strainer works is if you clean it every time they use it and because I work that's not possible. But my biggest problem with this item is that the handles broke already and the lid is no longer tight and cats push it off all the time.

Way too small for my nephew who is only 3. They also keep changing the price!! I paid almost 20 and my refund was 14.and some change. Unfortunately do not recommend this .

I really wanted to like this it was so retro and made of metal and heavy.
It turned out to be a $50 exercise in futility.
The drawbacks -
1. As has been mentioned, it is completely top heavy and tips over constantly.
2. If you don't place it on a corner of your counter, you will skin your knuckles against the counter top. And keeping it perched on the corner of a counter takes some dexterity.
3. It takes a bit of strength to get it around - it needs muscle.
Despite all that I persevered with it - because cracked ice is so much better for cocktails than the big cubes my fridge makes.
Then the insides cracked apart. The blades are metal, but the slotted surface that they pass through (and that the ice crushes against) is plastic. Cold plastic is not stronger than ice.

It is graceless and not very well designed.
For a $50 discretionary item, Metrokane could have hired at least one design engineer.

BIG FAIL as my son would say.

Don't bother with this book. I wanted to like this book,I really did. And after reading most of the reviews on here,I thought it would be worth the 10 bucks. It's really not. The recipe book that came with the baby bullet had better recipes than this...True I mainly looked at the recipes for the 6 month age range,but I glanced at the rest of the book and the recipes didn't seem much better. There aren't enough pictures(I'm a visual person). There's not enough variety,or anything I couldn't find on pinterest. Plus,like many others said,the author's choice of ingredients is questionable. There was not one recipe(from the 6month age group) that I hadn't already made or thought about making yet..ugh

With all the good reviews, I gave it a try but did not work for me.  I didn't notice a difference at all with sneezing, itching, coughing.  It does feel just a bit better than all the other allergy proof pillowcases but not enough at all. It was not worth the extra money.
The fabric feels nice to the touch, but on the pillow it still was not comfortable enough and made my pillow feel "harder" like other people have described the Aller Ease.. and other similar cases.  Only this one was really expensive and they won't let me return it. I guess I have to keep looking, but will buy retail from now on for easier returns.

I wanted to like this considering how much it costs. However, it's absolutely not worth the money. For one thing, it's pretty cheaply made. It consists of an insulated container, and a cheap plastic straw which you carefully maneuver (with some difficulty) onto a little filter that you drop into your water bottle. That's 3 moving pieces. If that means you can get clean water anywhere in the back country, I can live with that. However, sipping the water through the spout of the water bottle requires so much effort, I feel like someone would pass out after doing so! It's not enjoyable in the least. I'd rather carry two large plastic water bottles which weigh about as much as this heavy metal thing. That's just me though. You might feel differently if you're out camping for a few days and don't want to carry any water. In that case, it might be worth it.
