Which is a better product the Ab Rocket or Ab Rocket Twister? Is the twister flimsier?

I (in error) received the regular (blue) Ab Rocket instead of the twister, so I returned it. I decided not to re-order the twister since the regular Ab Rocket that was delivered was so so flimsy/cheap. Great idea if it were durable, so not worth the price.

I didn't experience this problem when I used the Twister. However I discontinued using it as it stopped working properly because it got clogged with debris (leaves, etc.). Without the twister my Kreepy cleans my pool efficiently and doesn't get hung up in corners. The proper length of hose I believe is critical to avoid hang ups.

Does not break easily.. My 10yr old son uses it to make mini movies .. He twists it and contorts it, but its still good

My son also had a Dizzy Disc and loved it. We sent it to school and wanted to replce it with something for home so we bought the spin disc. My son loved the fact it was bigger and had handles, BUT it has a very poor design and my son broke the first one in 5 days and the 2nd one in just over a month. Just spinning on it. He is well underneath the max weight. It is not anywhere near as durable as the Dizzy Disc. I would not recommend the Spin Disc. After the 2nd Spin Disc broke we purchased another Dizzy Disc. :)

It is pretty easy but the bridge TWIST is beyond the easy level, more an intermediate.It has not many mazes but more an interesting dynamic . The twist is not good for younger kids.

I have the knock off of the old "wrist rocket" not familiar with the "Barnett" the pull back distance for max power and accuracey is perfect.I only use marbles cause rocks tend to hit the uprights and damage the tubing promting replacement

The curl enhancing smoothie is a heavier cream and the milk is lighter. I have kinky, thick hair so I prefer the smoothie and use it for twistouts mainly but it works for my wash n gos if I decide to.

I bought mine because it was a 'dog and cat' model. I just looked at consumers and they rated the twist as #2 of all uprights and the dog and cat as #4, but both with identical rating. I would save the $200 and get the twist, my dog and cat gets rid of ALL the per hair. CR says the twist is also excellent on pet hair.

I would say yes it is a lot easier to throw well. A typical frisbee can be a little wobbly for beginners. I have a six year old daughter that got the hang of it pretty quick

This version is much more sturdy. We had the soft sided version and it deflated the first night. We returned it and purchased this one on amazon. We enjoyed it daily for 3 months, cleaned it to store and will use again this year!

There is no comparison; hands down the Bamix blows it out of the water. It's smoother and a lot more powerful and dint fall apart the second time I used it.

It boils a little faster than the pocket rocket. They have the same weight, this one is more compact, has a piezo ignition so you don't need a lighter, and is way cheaper. Can't beat it

The hair dryer's heft is average, I'd say, but not light or flimsy. Hold is excellent due to grip design, as well as maneuvering. I have very long hair and dry it upside down with the diffuser attachment (purchased separately). My arms do not tire. The cold shot button is easy to reach with my thumb for finishing out hair.

I got the toro brushless power system along with metal spur and ring gears. Otherwise they will shred on the first turn. Don't bother with aluminum control arms they bend easily. Aluminum everything else is a good upgrade though.

The Twister jar is INFINITELY superior for nut butters, mayonnaise and purees over the Wildside jar, by far. Can the Wildside jar make them adequately? Yes, but only just.

This board is ideal for basic transport. As for Dropdeck vs Dropthrough; its a matter of durability IMHO. The more (and bigger) holes you cut in a wood board the more you weaken it. My son has a dropthrough deck that is already showing some minor stress cracks at the dropthrough holes. That being said, he really loves, the fact that the board's lower ride height makes pushing the board much easier (less up-down movement in your base leg). Because the Atom Drop Deck, lowers the board to the same level as a Dropthrough, you get the same benefits of lower ride height without weakening the board. Another advantage of the dropdeck over the dropthrough, is that the dropdeck allows you to put shock absorbing board spacers which accounts for the "smoothness" that others answering this question mentioned. A dropthrough can use specially designed spacers but it will adversely effect the ride hight (each spacer will drop the board even more - making it almost too close to the ground). Finally, as for downhill, the trucks on this board are knock-offs of some of the more famous dual purpose trucks -- Bear(TM) and Randall(TM). What makes these trucks dual purpose is that for regular riding where you want more turning radius you can keep the truck hanger in the normal position. For downhill, where you need more stability to avoid what boarders call "board wobble", you can flip the truck hanger to reduce the angle of the truck. The trucks on the Atom Drop Deck will do this. Hope this helps you make an informed decision. Happy boarding!

I chatted with their rep and was told there is no difference whatsoever between the machines themselves. If you buy direct from them you get the Ab Crunch accessory "free" and there are better warranty options, payment plans, and extended money-back-guarantee/trial options. Also no credit check (?) I guess that matters to some people. Anyway if you just want the basic model and don't care about Ab Crunch and extended warrantees, then buy it from Amazon. Massive price differential.
