From the brand that automatically makes you think “takes a lickin’ and keeps on tickin'” comes their version of a heart rate monitor. The Timex Unisex Sports Personal Heart Rate Monitor Watch has a host of features in a stylish package and very good online ratings and reviews. For use with both men and women, this Timex Heart Rate Monitor features the basic watch functions of time and date plus heart monitoring functions. This nifty monitor tracks your heart rate while you exercise and even allows you to input a target heart rate you’d like to hit while active. If your rate falls out of that desired zone, an alarm will sound to notify you.

After the workout is done, the sports heart rate monitor also lets you take a look back at the amount of time active as well as your average and peak heart rates. It’s also worth noting this model is safe to take in the water up to 30 meters. Other features of the monitor include a chest strap (which one online reviewer claims fits his 54 inch chest fine) and a resin strap. A case, also resin, is included. Consumers reported this watch was easy to use and simple in its design. Most felt it worked well. A few did question the feature that reports calories burned and felt that might not be quite accurate. Overall, though, it did appear people who owned the product generally liked it.

The Surebonder Dual Temperature Glue Gun is a must-have tool for all your arts and crafts. This dual temperature gun is best for personal crafts and DIY projects. It features low and high settings, with the higher temperatures being suitable for metals and plastics. The lower temperatures are best for delicate materials, such as lace or foliage. What makes this hot glue gun rise to the top is that it has a flip down stand and a no drip tip. That means that when the gun is laid on its side, it won’t drip and cause extra mess. The 60-watt hot glue gun comes with a 10-foot cord, on/off switch and non-stick rubberized coating.

Ratings from owners are positive but do emphasize that the hot glue gun is best for smaller projects or moderate use. Some of the best reviews come from product owners who have used the gun on lightweight materials such as felt, fabrics and foam. Consumers also rave about the safety features of this glue gun, as the hot parts are covered and the no drip tip means less hot glue on the table. That said, some reviewers found that the no drip tip is a bit exaggerated, as dripping does occur. While less than other glue guns, product owners recommend placing a pad underneath to catch dripping glue. There was also some concern over the power cord containing lead and a few consumers felt that this was unnecessary with products today. Overall, this is an average-quality craft glue gun that will get small projects done in a snap!

The Oregon Scientific Talking Thermometer is the perfect tool for getting meals to cook to perfection. It’s super easy to use, as all you have to do is stick the probe into the meat and run the wire out of the oven or grill. The LCD screen will then display the temperature of your food until it’s just right. The device has plenty of features, including settings for cooking certain types of meat and doneness options that include rare, medium rare, medium and well-done. This BBQ Thermometer is a great buy, as it beats out others on the market.

However, customers prefer the Oregon Scientific Brand, as you get more cooking options and a stainless steel probe while costing nearly half the price. Despite all the features for the cost, the BBQ thermometer does have mixed reviews.

Some people say that mid sized microwave ovens lack the stylish looks and the heating power of their larger brethren, but the Sharp R-305KS 1100-Watt Stainless Steel Microwave Oven would take offense to that. This classy looking model sits comfortably on just about any countertop and its 23 automatic settings makes cooking and reheating a breeze. The Sharp R-305KS uses a 12 5/8” diameter turntable to evenly heat dishes inside its one cubic-foot oven. It helps prepare and reheat foods to perfection by using its defrosting, cooking, and reheating options, also including automatic settings for popcorn, softening, and melting.

The unit is only 20 ½ x 17 x 12 ¼ inches in size, and when compared to similarly sized models, the R-305KS’s 1100-Watt oven cooks faster and stronger. Sharp has consistently been known as one of the best microwave oven manufacturers when it comes to quality and features, and those who purchased the R-305KS agree that its options, power, and size were the biggest selling points. Some customers have complained that the microwave is a bit noisy while it’s working, though. A lot of power in a little size is what the Sharp R-305KS Microwave Oven offers, so you don’t have to make a lot of room to make a big meal.
