Schwinn Recumbent Exercise Bike Review

February 4, 2011 By

One of the best exercise bikes on the market is the Schwinn Recumbent Exercise Bike. Built for comfort, it takes exercising to a whole new lever.  Unlike traditional exercise bikes that can leave your tailbone sore, the recumbent exercise bike allows you to exercise sitting up or in a laid back position, which distributes your weight more evenly and takes the pressure off your sitting bones.

The dual-position lumbar support on the Schwinn 230 is cleverly engineered to provide the lower body good exercise without overstraining, or damaging delicate joints. It also has a micro-adjustable sliding seat that can adjust to any body size or height. The bio-fit seats have lumbar support and side bolsters. Its walk-through (some say step-through) design makes it very user friendly.

If you have back problems or find ordinary exercise bikes uncomfortable, with the Schwinn 230 Recumbent Exercise Bike you can finally exercise in comfort!

Wireless Music System Review

November 22, 2010 By

Sonos S5 ReviewMusic enthusiasts agree that a wireless home music system is the way to go if you want to be able to listen to music throughout the house, without having to run wires and speakers in every room.  But how about an all in one wireless system that allows you to play different music in different rooms and, gives you the ability to control all of your music with your iPod or your iPhone?

The Sonos S5 is a home music system that is compact, yet packs a big sound.  There are many wireless music systems on the market, but this one in particular has received rave reviews.  Just a few reasons this Sonos music system receives such high praise is because it’s one of the simplest systems to set up, produces a great sound, is a multi room music system that allows you to play music in different rooms, and it’s internet-connected.

If you are looking for a quality wireless audio system that will fill your house with the music you love, be sure to check out our review of the Sonos S5 All-In-One Wireless Music System.

Panasonic Bread Maker Review

November 22, 2010 By

panasonic bread makerThere is nothing quite like the aroma of fresh baked bread, especially first thing in the morning!  But in this day and age, who has the time to make homemade bread the old-fashioned way?  It’s a time consuming task to knead, roll, and prepare the mixture, wait for the bread to rise, and then watch it bake in the oven.  So what’s the answer if you want fresh, homemade bread?  A bread maker machine!

Bread made in automatic bread makers tastes just as good as bread you make from scratch and bake in the oven, but it’s done without having to do all the work of mixing, kneading and baking.  All you have to do is measure the ingredients properly, put them in the bread maker machine, and press a few buttons.  That’s it!  The machine does all the work and you enjoy fresh baked bread without preservatives or other unhealthy ingredients that may be found in store-bought bread.  And there’s no end to the types of bread you can make in bread makers.  There are tons of bread machine recipes available or, you can simply use some of the many bread machine mixes that are sold just about anywhere.

Aside from the fact that it tastes great, it’s more economic to make your own bread.  It’s less expensive to make than it is to buy it, and an added bonus is it’s healthier and more nutritious.

There are several makes and models to choose from, but a Panasonic bread maker, or more specifically, the Panasonic SD YD250, is the best bread maker for the money.  If you’ve been looking at bread making machines and haven’t make a choice yet, check out our review and find out why we chose the Panasonic SD YD250 as the best over the other automatic bread makers we came across in our research.

Epson Scanner Review

November 22, 2010 By

flatbed scannerThe best way to convert old photos, slides, film and negatives to digital images is with a photo scanner.  Purchasing one is relatively simple.  Understanding what you need and finding the best photo scanner that will suit your needs may prove to be a bit of a challenge.  A flatbed scanner is a good start, but what features are important to ensure you get the best quality from the photo and slide scanning you plan to do? What do you need to know about color depth and optical resolution?  What types of film sizes are supported?  Will the scanner also support document scanning and have the ability to scan to PDF?

If all you plan to do is scan photos to put on the internet, you can get away with a cheap scanner.  However, if you are looking for quality photos that you can enlarge or use for print media, such a brochures, then you’ll need a scanner with a higher resolution.

We took a look at a number of photo scanners found an Epson scanner that consistently gets excellent reviews and is a favorite among consumers.  The scanner is the Epson Perfection v600 Photo Color Scanner, so we decided to do an in depth review to see why so many people consider it to be the best photo scanner they have ever used.  If you’ve been looking for a good photo scanner but don’t know what features you need, be sure to check out our review.

Honeywell Air Purifier Review

November 22, 2010 By

honeywell electronic air cleanerAirborne irritants, such as dust, pollen, pet dander, and tobacco smoke, can build up in your house over time and lead to health problems.  Studies indicate that the inside of your house can actually be up to six times more polluted than outside.  Poor air quality is even more prevalent during times, as in the winter, when windows and doors are kept shut.  Home air purifiers can help to reduce the level of airborne irritants and allergens to a comfortable level, making the air in your home easier to breathe.

It’s important to note that when you are looking at room air purifiers, you avoid the types that are ozone-generating.  Everyone knows about the ozone layer in the atmosphere, but many people are unaware that ozone exists in indoor environments as well.

There are other factors to consider such as True HEPA filters, replacement filters, room size and other air purifier ratings that determine how effective home air purifiers are at filtering the air.  True HEPA filter air purifiers are better for several reasons, one of which is their ability to capture tiny microns that easily pass into the human respiratory system.

After a careful review of several home air purifiers on the market, we found a Honeywell air purifier that continually receives rave reviews from consumers.  The Honeywell 50250 Pure HEPA Round Air Purifier has received over 200 reviews on Amazon alone, and the majority of them were  5 out of 5 ratings.  When a product like this is favored so highly who people buy it and use it, it warrants a a closer look.
