SM-165 Finger Pulse Oximeter Review

I was sent this pulse-ox to try out. It came with the unit, lanyard, carrying case, instructions manual, batteries, and a 1 year warranty. I am very happy to have this around the house. It makes it really easy to see if there is a problem with oxygen saturation in the blood. Very handy for anyone that has an asthmatic in the house, almost mandatory. Other uses include wearing while doing a very strenuous exercise routine. Lastly for anyone around that has heart issues this is great to make sure the pulse is not bouncing off of the roof.


This unit comes with bright color OLED display. What this means is it makes it really easy to read. The coolest part of this unit is the display rotation screen. To do this all that has to be done once you turn on the unit and put it on the finger, just hit the button again and it rotates the screen to make it easier to read.

Having this around in case of any emergency is great. Clip it on the finger and in a few seconds you can get the pulse rate and oxygen in the blood. Two very important features medical professionals must know upon assessment. Having these numbers ready and handy will speed up the process and save a little time in an emergency. Being able to monitor these numbers makes it easier to make an informed decision at your house on when to proceed in an emergency situation as well when it come so someone with asthma or heart problems. I would like to thank Gurin and affiliates for sending me this meter to try out and give my opinion.

Zep Microwave Miracle

I was sent this on crowdtap to try out in the microwave. It did an okay job, but not near what I was expecting from it. It was not a simple and wipe the grime away. I was still required to put some elbow grease into it and a green scratch pad. Don't get me wrong though. The microwave was really bad off and I could see that it most definitely helped with cleaning.

(Before picture above)


As you can see it had  a pretty healthy build up on it. It is also a little bit different from a normal microwave since it is a convection.

(after pictured above)


As you can see it has gotten about 90% off of the stainless steel. It will require a third treatment to get it a lot closer to clean. It probably saved me a couple hours of scrubbing alone since it did help break down the stuck on gunk.

Mighty Wallet Review

At first I thought these wallets were going to be an outright joke. A paper wallet, come on, get real! Well to my surprise they are not so terrible, as a matter of fact they can be very useful. These are made from Tyvek, much like express mail packages are made from. This makes them water resistant (not water proof).  This wallet has 6 card slots and a area the length of the wallet for putting paper money in. These wallets are super light weight, very thin, and compact. These wallets come in many different designs and patterns.


My use of this wallet will be for days I am going out on the boat. That way if I sit down in a wet spot or get water splashed on me, it wont ruin my leather wallet. I will also be carrying this wallet when I go to amusement parks. There is always the log jam rides, and as long as I don't submerge or go jump in the pool with it. It should shed 99% of the water without the contents getting wet. It is perfect for small outings like that. There is enough room for drivers license, insurance card, credit card, discount card, and cash holdings. It is small enough and pliable enough to go in the front pocket, or even a shirt pocket.





Here is a part of the message I got from the company on these wallets: "In time, the Mighty Wallet® will gradually soften and patina but, even after years of wear, it will still offer surprise and solicit intrigue". I am looking forward to testing this thing out plenty of the years and see how well it really does hold up. So far the one my nephew got has held up, but it has only been a month. Being he is 17 anything paper lasting longer then 30 seconds is a miracle. I would like to thank Dynomighty and affiliates for sending me this wallet to try out and leave my opinion.

MashPro Review

Well for starters, it is stainless steel so it is easy to clean. It is a combination potato smasher/ricer in one unit. This masher seems to be built extremely solid. I have had no issues with it in anyways as far as it durability goes. The masher has the regular part for you potatoes and then it has  a plate with holes in it for the ricer part. This is all on a spring loaded system that is fairly strong in resistance.


Personally I have used this to smash potatoes and bananas. Now for the potatoes I have done both skinned and potatoes with the peelings on it still. With out the skin it is super easy and melts through the potatoes with ease. Now if you plan to leave the skins on the potatoes it is not going to work as far as going through the ricer part to break it down really fine. This is made for mashing, not cutting. Now when it comes to the bananas in the recipe I use I had milk, applesauce, vanilla, and a few other items. The masher does a great job with mashing and pushing it through the ricer part. If you are doing this with a food like bananas be ready for it to have some suction between the masher plate and the bottom of the bowl until it is reduced to small pieces. It is not a strong suction but if you are not paying attention and move the smasher I could lift the bowl and drop it and make some mess.

(recipe with bananas mentioned)


Now for cleaning and care of this. It stays that it is dishwasher safe. I don't know if you would ever actually need to put in through a dishwasher since it is stainless steel. It only takes a steady stream of hot water to knock and melt all of the particles off of it. The handle on the masher is solid so you do not have to worry about it holding water if you do use it in the dishwasher.


If you are in the market for a really good potato masher, you need to look no further. This masher will handle almost any project you have in mind in the kitchen. I would like to thank The Kitchen Fix and affiliates for sending me this masher to try out and leave my opinion.

Knife Sharpener Review

This is a two stage sharpener for your not serrated edge knives. The first stage of the sharpening tool is a coarse stone. The second stage is a stone a little more fine to take the burrs off of the knife and fine tune the edge a bit more. Like most whet stone sets there are 2 sets like this system without all of the hassles with holding the knife at the proper angle to get the edge. This sharpener is very compact and light weight for easy storage. Since it is compact it works for the smaller knives as well, instead of most that are only good for French Knives and the sorts. Possibly the most handy part of this sharpener is the suction cup on the bottom that helps hold it in place. The casing to the sharpener seems to be made of a fairly durable plastic.


From what I have seen with this sharpener you cant not go wrong with the price for the quality of edge it puts on knives. The suction cup that holds it on the bottom makes it much safer for sharpening blades. You don't have to worry about the thing jumping all over the place and losing control of the knife. This hard plastic housing appears to be very durable and will stand the test of time. I used it on this 20 year old knife shown in the picture. It revitalized the blade and improved the edge on it greatly. This knife was so beat up it took me about 30 minutes on the coarse side alone. From there on the fine side of the sharpener I did about 5 minutes of work.


If you are in the market for a knife sharpener this is a great choice for the cost. It will provide a nice edge to your knives. I would like to thank Dragsys and affiliates for sending me this sharpener to try out and leave my opinion. I look forward to using this for many years to come.
