Their suggestion is to open it and empty the tray every so often so it (a) ensures the chips are touching the metal, and (b) cools a bit so that the element has to turn on to get them smoking."
"I did have a problem with the controller not controlling the temperature well (235 setting, but temp got up to 257F), but the factory offered to send me a replacement at no charge."
"Great smoker Works quite well, Loss of 1 star because the smoker tray is very small compared to the Masterbuilt unit it replaces, so you cannot get larger chunks through the loader."
"The smoker performs well but I advise buying the cold smoker attachment."

You are supposed to load the first cartridge into the magazine by hand and that is usually not a problem as the first cartridge is easy to load."
"I consider myself an old school shooter, I believe in KIS (keep it simple), I like to go to the range light without much stuff, have fun, practice and go back home."
"While not necessary for everyone to have it makes range time so much more enjoyable because it decreases loading time by 50% I would say."
"Rest assured that this model is the very same one as the black UpLula with 14,000 five star reviews, it's just pink. This is probably the greatest product I have ever bought on Amazon, taking into account quality, utility, and the praise heaped on it by more than 14,000 other reviewers."
"Thumb-loading took me 30 minutes with the first magazine: 1 minute for the first 14 rounds, 29 minutes, my sanity, and a 400-calorie workout for the 15th round."
"Polish the tab top and bottom that pushes the round down into the magazine. Guess there is adapters of some kind for small or single stack magazines, but haven't pursued that yet."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"I bought this dehydrator sort of like many people did: after reading the things you can do with it, I got all excited, thinking, "I'm going to dehydrate EVERYTHING and it's going to be amazing!!!" So far, I've used the dehydrator to make a couple of batches of each of: - Apple chips (thin apple slices soaked for a few hours in a combo of lemon juice and cranberry juice, then dried). - beef jerky (this dehydrator comes with a starter park for jerky, plus I made my own marinade the next time). - chicken jerky. - bacon bits (the ends and "bad cuts" of my own home-cured, smoked bacon, finely chopped, cooked, and then dehydrated. The temperature can be dialed in from 95ºF to 160ºF as printed on the top (remember that problem I mentioned? Well, I have tested the actual running temperature of the dehydrator against the printed values on the dial, and they're not even close. I used several methods to determine the temperature: 1) A Mastercool Digital Infrared Thermometer pointed directly into an exhaust vent (see photo) with the dial set to the maximum 160ºF. 4) A digital metal probe thermometer (Lavatools Thermowand) inserted into both the upper and lower exhaust ports. In all cases (except #3, which responded too slowly) I was able to see the lower temperature at which the heater kicked on, as well as the upper temperature at which the heater turned off (in theory, this would be right around the number printed on the dial). - At the 135ºF setting on the dehydrator, the actual temperature maxed out at around 120ºF, at which point the heater turned off and the temperature dropped slowly until the heater came back on. - At the 160ºF setting (maximum), it was the same story but with an actual temperature topping out at around 135ºF. What concerns me is this unit's suitability for jerky -- the minimum recommended temperature for any meat is 160ºF when making jerky. I'm not too terribly concerned about the beef jerky because I routinely eat beef at a much lower temperature than that (though it does make a good case for refrigerating the jerky in this case), but the chicken jerky could have gone pretty badly!"
"The 3rd reason I love this dehydrator is simple, it produces the best tasting dehydrated foods I've ever had, I'm and avid outdoorsman and have dehydrated everything from deer to turkey, family friends insist I start selling the jerky made with this product. With all that being said, if you have a dehydrator that is getting old/malfunctioning or just want to start making your own dehydrated foods, this product is for you, don't pass this one up, you will not be dissatisfied with your purchase."
"First, lets talk about performance: Only in a few ocasions I could dry something with less than 12 hours using a moderate temperature and thin slices. But a 4,5 or 4,7 stars would be more fair, since this dehydrator has a lot of good points and we live in a very humid area, in the sea coast. I think if you are willing to put some peppers in a dehydrator, you should use very low temperatures, those used to dry herbs and other fragile stuff. I can not believe some people say this dehydrator makes some undesirable noise to the point that they need to put them in a room far from their bedroom otherwise they couldn't sleep! The gray and white marble finish fits incredibly well in any room, like it's camouflaged, hard to explain. Dehydrated fruits leave virtually no residue, they stick very lightly to the trays and can be easily pulled out. Not a single banana or any other fruit like apples got stuck in the trays to the point that they couldnt be removed easily with the fingers, and entire, not in fragments. (Room temperature: 28 Celsius) With 9 trays full of fruits: 1st hour: 650 Watts (average). Explanation: the first hours take more power because the machine is heating the trays so the thermostat rarely turns off. After a few hours, the thermostat only activates ocasionally to refresh the temperature, since the trays are already heated and only need a maintenance to keep the warm air flow. When the electric resistance turns off, the measure of wattage reads 28 watts, that's the power consumption of the fan (negligible). I will update this review if anything unexpected occurs, or if I have any important thing to add, like new food experiences, et cetera. To finish this review, I'd like to apologize for my awful English, I had a hard time writting this because I am not a native speaker, so tell me if something sounds odd or particularly unusual, I can clarify your questions in the comments section."

These guys honestly are in it to provide great goggles to the market. The case is nice but would rather that they spent more money on the goggles themselves. Hopefully you'll click that my review was helpful so I can maintain this good standing."
"I am in the pool daily for at least an hour for surgical rehab and since I wear contacts, goggles are a necessity. Over the past 33 years I have gone through at least one new pair each summer season and have never been happy with what I've purchased. I am aware that goggles for swimming are not something people normally get excited about but after so many years of leaky, foggy, ill fitting goggles leaving red raccoon circles around my eyes I AM excited to have these Aegend goggles as they do none of those things and exceed my expectations and leave me wanting to tell every stranger at the pool all about them. Also worth mentioning is the perfectly designed case that drains water and clips closed securely so my new favorites will stay protected."
"Contacted Aegend customer service and they asked if I was myopic (no) and offered to send a replacement free of charge including a choice of couple different models. Aegend says not everybody's eyeballs are built the same and again offered to replace the goggle free of charge including to their flat lens which shouldn't have the blurry prism effect. I declined since I know the strap design on their flat lens goggle would drive me crazy. But I cannot give the goggles 5 stars since they didn't work for my eye profile and caused everything underwater to be blurry. They had another swim goggles with the clasp on the back like the one for this product but with a flat lens (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MTXI8SV)."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"I found the Fitbit to be an incredible fitness device compared to the Apple watch. The fitbit can also track sleep, and give you an estimate of your cardio fitness score (V02 Max). Other features: Clearly the fitbit is not a smart watch, but the text and call notifications are great when you're working out and don't have quick access to your phone. Accuracy: Tie. I have no idea what the negative reviews are talking about (Maybe they received a defective device or have exceptionally hairy arms?). The apple watch is slightly more accurate when it comes to distance, and probably more suited for someone who runs at a competitive pace. I love watching my cardio fitness score change and keeping an eye on my resting heart rate overnight. Apple has a ton of 3rd party apps which are great, but it lacks the complete integration of the fitbit. I haven't decided which one I will be keeping yet, but if I were basing my decision on fitness alone, at a non competitive level, I would choose the fitbit hands down. There are other useful features that make the Apple watch appealing in my line of work, so I'll have to weigh those into my decision. The apple watch doesn't have the same coolness factor with regard to fitness, and really doesn't motivate me to workout anymore than my iPhone would. It is perfect for someone who doesn't care about tracking fitness goals, but wants to leave their phone at home during a workout. The ability to stream music, track distance with a built in GPS, and respond to text messages are wonderful. I have a 7 inch wrist and the large band fits me on the last 2-4 holes (keep it loose when not working out)."
"As a Blaze and original Charge HR owner, figured I'd try my hand at the newest Fitbit Charge 2. It replaces the original best selling Charge & Charge HR. Steps, Flights, Heart Rate, Calories Burned, Connected GPS (shows a little map post workout when tied to your phone, and yes, you need to bring your phone with you on walks/runs), and notifications (as of now, just texts, calendar alerts, and displays phone number of incoming calls). The Charge watch has been the workhorse of the fitbit line. Since you're familiar with the Charge already, let's go over some of the issues you may have experienced and highlights/common questions answered: 1) Build Quality: The Charge 2 is a far far superior quality than the original Charge. **If you had problems with your original Charge band bubbling, the ability to swap bands and how the tracker is connected to the bands should eliminate the issues you have experienced ** Obviously way too early to make a call on how the device will hold up, but given my experience with Blaze & Alta, this feels similar in build quality, if not better, and neither of those devices have suffered from bands falling apart on a wide scale. 5) Display is nice, 4x larger than the original Charge. The font is a bright offwhite, as opposed to the original Charge that had a soft almost blue to it. Some display day & date, and most have option to where when you tap the display it will cycle through stats (may display heart rate, date, steps taken, how far you are in your goals, your hourly movement reminders, etc). Yes, two of the watch faces are digital (numbers display, not hands) and have seconds displayed. There is no 3rd party support at this time such as facebook, instagram, etc (The Blaze watch will be offering these soon in next software upgrade, so I guess there is hope the Charge 2 will get those as well). Heart rate was spot on as it usually was with original Charge HR & my Blaze. Obviously some folks have trouble with them due to body hair and whatnot, but the sensors on Charge HR, Blaze, and now Charge 2 seem to be spot on. An issue I had with the original Charge was it getting "lost" when I hit higher cardio levels. CONS: - vibration is notably weaker than the original Charge. The Charge HR slowly scrolls texts and notifications to you, which can be annoying if you're used to the Blaze. They serve their purpose well though, and I can't ding it for this as it's a step up from the original Charge. The Blaze is their high end product at the moment, but the Charge 2 is a very close second. I'll happily answer questions as I did for when I originally reviewed the Blaze out of the gate, and edit this review to reflect common questions or any issues I face as I put the device through its paces in the coming days."

It's a 2-piece table, so none of the mismatch concerns that plague some of the 4-piece tables (beware the 4-piece tables!)."
"But you need two people to accomplish that - you need to lay the half of the table flat on the ground, then fix the feet (a little awkward because you need to hold it up for the feet to go down) then lift the half and set it in place. All in all - we really like the table and have been using it a lot."
"My only thought to improve this table function is by allowing for levels, i.e. each leg/wheel having a adjustable nut."
"The table comes with a small instruction booklet (useless) and a small sticker on the back of the table that describes the installation process (so small that I missed it until after I had installed all the wheels already)."

"The table parts were well organized and fit well into the table. Reason I bought this table - After readying about 3 and 4 hour assembly on other table, I bought this one. Storing/opening the table - folding the table for storage is very easy as is unfolding it for play."
"And the giant box it came in is pretty great to put behind the players to block the balls from getting lost in our garage."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I found the Fitbit to be an incredible fitness device compared to the Apple watch. The fitbit can also track sleep, and give you an estimate of your cardio fitness score (V02 Max). Other features: Clearly the fitbit is not a smart watch, but the text and call notifications are great when you're working out and don't have quick access to your phone. Accuracy: Tie. I have no idea what the negative reviews are talking about (Maybe they received a defective device or have exceptionally hairy arms?). The apple watch is slightly more accurate when it comes to distance, and probably more suited for someone who runs at a competitive pace. I love watching my cardio fitness score change and keeping an eye on my resting heart rate overnight. Apple has a ton of 3rd party apps which are great, but it lacks the complete integration of the fitbit. I haven't decided which one I will be keeping yet, but if I were basing my decision on fitness alone, at a non competitive level, I would choose the fitbit hands down. There are other useful features that make the Apple watch appealing in my line of work, so I'll have to weigh those into my decision. The apple watch doesn't have the same coolness factor with regard to fitness, and really doesn't motivate me to workout anymore than my iPhone would. It is perfect for someone who doesn't care about tracking fitness goals, but wants to leave their phone at home during a workout. The ability to stream music, track distance with a built in GPS, and respond to text messages are wonderful. I have a 7 inch wrist and the large band fits me on the last 2-4 holes (keep it loose when not working out)."
"As a Blaze and original Charge HR owner, figured I'd try my hand at the newest Fitbit Charge 2. It replaces the original best selling Charge & Charge HR. Steps, Flights, Heart Rate, Calories Burned, Connected GPS (shows a little map post workout when tied to your phone, and yes, you need to bring your phone with you on walks/runs), and notifications (as of now, just texts, calendar alerts, and displays phone number of incoming calls). The Charge watch has been the workhorse of the fitbit line. Since you're familiar with the Charge already, let's go over some of the issues you may have experienced and highlights/common questions answered: 1) Build Quality: The Charge 2 is a far far superior quality than the original Charge. **If you had problems with your original Charge band bubbling, the ability to swap bands and how the tracker is connected to the bands should eliminate the issues you have experienced ** Obviously way too early to make a call on how the device will hold up, but given my experience with Blaze & Alta, this feels similar in build quality, if not better, and neither of those devices have suffered from bands falling apart on a wide scale. 5) Display is nice, 4x larger than the original Charge. The font is a bright offwhite, as opposed to the original Charge that had a soft almost blue to it. Some display day & date, and most have option to where when you tap the display it will cycle through stats (may display heart rate, date, steps taken, how far you are in your goals, your hourly movement reminders, etc). Yes, two of the watch faces are digital (numbers display, not hands) and have seconds displayed. There is no 3rd party support at this time such as facebook, instagram, etc (The Blaze watch will be offering these soon in next software upgrade, so I guess there is hope the Charge 2 will get those as well). Heart rate was spot on as it usually was with original Charge HR & my Blaze. Obviously some folks have trouble with them due to body hair and whatnot, but the sensors on Charge HR, Blaze, and now Charge 2 seem to be spot on. An issue I had with the original Charge was it getting "lost" when I hit higher cardio levels. CONS: - vibration is notably weaker than the original Charge. The Charge HR slowly scrolls texts and notifications to you, which can be annoying if you're used to the Blaze. They serve their purpose well though, and I can't ding it for this as it's a step up from the original Charge. The Blaze is their high end product at the moment, but the Charge 2 is a very close second. I'll happily answer questions as I did for when I originally reviewed the Blaze out of the gate, and edit this review to reflect common questions or any issues I face as I put the device through its paces in the coming days."

Find Best Price at Amazon"The three pairs I purchased are these: VitalSox Graduated Compression Performance Exercise Socks, ABD Athlete Compression Socks, and Physix Gear Compression Socks for Men & Women. Important issues for me included: Length (long enough to go to the top of my calf just below the knee), Support (a good sense of compression support through the foot, ankle and calf), comfort (ability to wear all day without being overly constrictive at the top band, but also not sagging throughout the day), and fit (I’m 5’10”, 195 lbs., size 9 shoe, with fairly large legs – 17” calf, 10” ankle). VitalSox – This is a comfortable compression sock that comes just below the knee cap and has a nice wide top band and a nice thicker footbed for comfort. Because sizing of compression wear is really based on both calf and foot size, I was concerned that the Medium might be too tight in the calf, but that is not the case. These socks have a fairly narrow top band, but because they are long enough (come up to the bottom of the knee cap), and wider at the top, they are very comfortable to wear all day, and provide nice, noticeable support throughout the foot and leg."
"I stand for over 9 hours a day at work, so I can't begin to explain how badly my legs and feet ached."
"I'm a nurse with varicose veins, (no pain or swelling from it) but I work 12+ hours a shift and my feet are killing by the time I go home. The colors are vibrant ( I have pink and blue) I hope they make more colors soon:). At the end of each shift, I can honestly say I don't have the foot pain like before and I do have more energy."
"Sizing was a bit off - I'm a women's 9.5 but the large was way too big, but did fit my husband's size 13 foot."
"Had to pull on the toe area to give it extra room but it didn't stay there. I wore the socks about 10+ hours but I didn't feel that relief many reviewers spoke off. I do NOT recommend these socks as after surgery care for prevention of DVT's or to limit swelling."
"Very flawed, cheap, Chinese design."

"My Fitbit has connected GPS which requires that I carry my cellphone to log my miles and this works perfectly for a hands free workout!"
"He's also overweight and it rubbed a bit on his stomach because he wore it directly on skin, so I suggest wearing this over a shirt to prevent rubbage if you're heavier."
"The "skinny" looking pockets unfolds as the items are placed inside."
"I took the belt for an inaugural run this morning and these are my thoughts about its performance: - lightweight material with reflective detail. - extremely well made; smooth zipper function, sturdy buckle closure. - compact, folded design - expands easily to hold all sorts of stuff when you are running, but folds back down for storage. - headphone portal (why, oh why, do other manufacturers bother making running pouches without this vital feature??). - adjustable waistband ensures no bounce when running. - expandable large pocket holds an iPhone 6S with room to spare; the extra space makes it easy to put my phone in and take it back out as needed; could have tucked a couple more things in there, too (Kleenex, hand wipe). - expandable small pocket easily holds a set of keys, credit card, some money and lip balm. Even with everything I stuffed into the pockets, the belt was lightweight and comfortable. I'm very happy I was able to overlook the descriptive phrase "reflective crotch" in order to give this product a try."
"Until I bought this product, I have been using a small MP3 with wired headphone which is bit of a bother and also when I travel (I am a traveling sales person), I prefer to run with my phone for many reasons and rather listen to my musics with bluetooth headphone than a "wired headphone" with a MP3 player. I was bit skeptical about buying this, but few days ago, I made a decision to buy. Awesome product."
"Love the slim fit and the fact that it has separate pockets for keys."
