Great solution to trimmer line-breaking aggravation, great for my blood pressure!

After struggling with the OEM trimmer head and two aftermarket 'bump-feed' heads, I purchased the PivoTrim based upon many positive reviews here on Amazon.com. After the first use, I have to rave -- this design is simple to load and use, and the pivoting trimmer lines last FAR longer than the frustrating, constantly-breaking line in those abysmal bump-feed devices. I literally spent more time with my trimmer motor turned off, disassembling the trimmer heads to fish out the line, than trimming the grass. The PivoTrim has changed that, cleaning up not only my fence line, but my outdoor work vocabulary, as well!

The previous reviews were very helpful in many ways, but some called into question whether this would fit my Ryobi Expand-It (gas) curved shaft trimmer. It did, although I had a little trouble with the head orientation, at first. But Ryobi's online videos (on YouTube) showed the error of my ways, and, once I had the head oriented properly, it was off to the races!

This thing is dead-simple to use, reload with trimmer string -- the whole 9 yards! (well, maybe 8 yards, 2ft, 11.5 inches...) I made it through my yard without breaking or having to replace a single one of its 4 lines. My cardiologist is certain to be pleased with the new degree of 'calm' with which I'm doing my yard work these days!

 Try it, you'll like it!

My husband was asked by his dentist to get a water pik. I'd had several when I was growing up & they were weak & didn't do anything that I could see, so I was VERY reluctant to buy it.

This one, however, has WAY enough power -- I only use it on "6" and it's enough to choke me if it squirts down my throat!  (If children use it, I suggest to start out on "1", for SURE!)  Has a GREAT feature -- you push the button on the handle to stop the water when you need it to (so you don't spray yourself or the bathroom with the water!) ;)

I experimented . .  . I brushed, flossed THEN used the waterpik and it  STILL found stuff!  Awesome -- highly recommend.

PROS:  STRONG stream, easy to use
CONS: a bit loud (esp when you're holding the button to stop flow) -- has to be NEAR the sink (cord on wand doesn't go very far).

Great alternative to the tap and advance type of spool.  This is simple and reliable.  This saved me from tossing my trimmer because I was so frustrated wiht the poorly functioning auto advance spool.  Now I am back in business.

This trimmer is really great!  I was a little worried when some assembly was required.  I'm a 67 year old woman, not particularly good at assembling things or understanding the directions to do so.  But I got out my required Phillips screwdriver (not included) and got to work.  It seriously took me about 5 minutes which included a lot of reading out loud to myself on my front steps. I only had to remove 6 screws and screw in a safety guard and the handle. I was quite impressed with myself.  I have a few bushes I've been trying to make smaller in order to be able to trim them without help.  This trimmer is perfect.  I followed every safety instruction.  Sturdy shoes (hiking boots), eye goggles, garden gloves.  There were 2 stand alone bushes plus a hedge.  I've always needed help with the hedge and will most likely still want a man, or at least a person taller (I'm 5'2") to do some of the hedge. But I was able to do the stand alone bushes by myself.  I'm not in very good shape, need to lose some weight and was being very careful.  It only took about 5 minutes on each bush.  I did also try some of the hedge and could tell the trimmer works really well, would just be better to have a taller person do it.  I am very glad I bought this trimmer.

Over the past few years, I bought the one-time-use bug spray and weed killer sprayers at Walmart, and the nozzle almost always broke even before the liquid ran out.  I can't believe I waited so many years to buy one of these (especially since it is so inexpensive!), and it really helped with my spider infestation that took place right before fall!  My only complaint is that there is not an easy pressure release, and the first time I opened the sprayer after spraying for bugs it sprayed me in the face!  An easy solution (which I now use) is to open the sprayer outside angled away from your body whenever you need to refill the sprayer.  Happy Spraying!!

This blood pressure monitor arrived quickly and is easy to work. It makes monitoring my husband's high blood pressure super easy.

Just wrap it around your wrist, press the button and go!
It may be a little tight if you have larger than average wrists, but we didn't have any problem.

This is a great alternative to buying one in store that is twice the cost for half the features.

I ordered this product because I started getting headaches from yelling between floors in my house and as a person with high blood pressure, my doctor kept telling me to keep calm, which you cannot do if your shouting to make yourself understood. I was just darn fed up with it.

This product works great. I am now communicating with family members up and down stairs and my blood pressure stays normal and no headaches.

The user manual did give me some headaches though as the manufactures said just to plug in and use but there were a few variations on how the product could be used. It got me all confused because somehow the booklet did not seem clear and straight forward. The instructions confused me for about an hour. After much trial and error. My son and I got it and since then it's been great.

My dentist advised me to get one of these to stop the progression of "pockets" in my gums.  Easy to use, and the best solution out there for cleaning below the gum line, I can't believe how much junk it blasts out after a meal.  It doesn't replace flossing, but is a GREAT addition to a dental hygiene regimen.

My wife had shoulder surgery and so we got one that would help with the cleaning process. This has worked out great and I love to use it as well! We had one issue with installation (Not enough of an issue to me to knock off a star): Our older home had a rigid supply line going from the water inlet to the toilet tank. With the addition of the T-fitting, the line no longer fit so I had to go buy a new line to fit. Not a big issue, but just a watch-out for some that don't have a longer flexible line already in place.

I should have bought this a long time ago, instead of suffering with hand clippers all of those years. It definitely  does the job, lots of power and low vibration. I have 4 different type shrubs I used it on, plus two 6ft ficus tree's  and a 8ft citrus tree. It trimmed all of them with very few problems. Some of the new growth "Green" citrus branches where over 1/2 in. thick, and it went right through them. However you will have a problem cutting though old growth "Brown" branches close to this size. Fortunately for me I had very few large old growth branches to cut. All and all it worked out well for me, and cut my work time by more than half.

This trimmer is quite comfortable to work with, it's not to heavy and the handles are positioned where they are comfortable to hold. The low vibration of these clippers help in the comfort factor. I did not feel overly fatigued even after working with it for a fairly long time.

Unfortunately as some of the other reviewers I managed to cut my extension cord also, it's not that hard to do. Now I wrap the cord around my neck with the long end over my shoulder and behind me. Plus of course pay more attention as to where it is.
Also it's a good idea to lubricate the blades often, I do it every 20 minutes or so, and again when I am finished with it.

 However if I had it to do over again, I would consider the B&G Trimmer with the 20 or 22in. blade. That would give me a bit more reach and the extra .08 amp of power would be a nice plus for cutting through the larger old growth branches.

I love this product! I have been using it for years. I use it to shape my hairline, temples and sideburns. Nice light weight; much less cumbersome in comparison to using electric hair clippers. For black men who like intricate patterns in their hair or if you like a nice, clean edge to your hairline, side burns or mustache/beard, then this product is for you. FYI: This product is not designed to be used in lieu of clippers. My last one broken awhile ago and I had a hard time finding it cause Wahl had stop producing it. So glad that the company relented and decided to put it back on the market.

I have one of the Craftsman line trimmers that use the pre-cut trimmer lines, but they are very expensive compared to just cutting up a roll of trimline.  Problem is getting the right thickness - too thin and the machine slings it right out of the slot, too thick and you cannot get it into the slot.  This fits the bill nicely, saves a lot of money over the pre-cut line.

I went off my prescribed blood thinner December 2010. Since then, I've been looking for an herbal product that 1. Prevented additional clotting 2. Reduced the swelling that the prescription could not 3. Had no obvious side effects. For the first time in three years, I have no swelling! Years of doctors and specialists couldn't do it, but this product did! I will be a lifetime user of this product. This has seriously improved my quality of life.

This is great! Changes out in seconds and makes trimming brass a breeze! No more cranking for hours until my fingers go numb, this is great for folks who are converting .223 to 300 blackout

I bought this hibiscus tea for my husband, as his blood pressure has been on the high side for the past year or so.  When he drinks this throughout the day it really helps keep his blood pressure under control.  We have tried other products and have found this to work the best. The flowers are very good quality, and brew up nicely as a hot tea.  We live in the desert and are heading into the hotter months now, so I tried making it cold.  I use an infuser which screws on top of a mason jar, fill the infuser with the tea, add water, and brew in the fridge over night.  In the morning I remove the infuser, and have a nice big jar of tea.  It actually tastes just as good as the hot water method, and is so easy to make. We will continue to purchase this product!

I'm a bit of a health nut.  Well, not really.  Let's say I like to try and stay in shape.  I like measuring stuff and tracking stats.  Weight, fat measurement, BMI, etc.
I have always wanted a way to check my own blood pressure at home like they do in the doctor's office. And now I can!  This little thing is dead-easy to use, and it works really well!
The instructions are pretty clear - and a little humorous as well.  There are these little goofy pictures for each warning - you know - like the device wearing a scarf in the cold to help remind you to keep it from the cold, etc.
Anyhow, the instruction booklet is helpful, and so is the instruction written on the arm band itself.  It reminds you where to place it and how to use it.  It's so easy.  Strap it on your arm, press the start button, and wait.
Now, I know my typical heart rate - like I said, I track a lot of stuff, and this thing is accurate.  It's about what I test at when I'm at the doctor's office.  And it's different if you're standing or sitting.  The instructions remind you how to get accurate readings - don't test within an hour of eating, etc.

Another neat thing - it memorizes your last 30 tests, and gives you the average of the past few tests when you first turn it on.  Sort of like a checkup of your own!  Kind of neat.  And, you can assign/save different people on here, so you can track your whole family!

For the price, this thing is awesome.  I've always wanted to track my blood pressure at home and this is an affordable and accurate way to do it!!!
