I didn't buy it, got it for Fathers day and left it in the drawer ignored for almost two months.

I already had a meat temp system for smoking that I have had at least 10 years and didn't see the value in this "meater" just like new dual systme my wife gave me for Christmas that I have ignored, still.

I decided to try "meater" on my ribeye steaks a week ago, amazing. Wife's med rare was perfect and so was my medium. Had ribeyes again tonight, same result, perfection.

No guesswork in steak perfection any longer!

Had to check this thread out and what I said 5 years ago is far from true. The "meater" quit working shortly after this and was not backed up by the company. They basically told me to **** off.
So, this last Christmas the Mrs. got me another one at a tremendous price and I was shocked. We sent it back, they are not worth $200.


That being said, my favorite purchase by far is my Sole F63 treadmill. Just about to roll over 2000 miles on it, that is how I start my day every morning.

I've been through a lot of shower heads to find the right one. My favorite is Moen 26100SRN. Don't get the ECO, just get the standard. When you get it, remove the restrictor in the head. Also, purchase Moen 187053 to replace the plastic piece that comes with the shower head and WILL eventually break. This combo maximizes our water pressure, is super easy to point it where we want it, and the magnetic head/base is flawless. You can have your eyes closed and reach up to place the shower head and the magnets just pull it to the right spot. It really is convenient and highly functional. Now go buy this showerhead and clean ya ass.

I actually bought one of those based on your recommendations. My wife had mentioned wanting something like that. It still sits on our counter waiting for its first use. I guess we didn't need it as much as we thought.

I looked into it a bit. It definitely appears that it doesn't do much if anything to increase the pressure by itself. Which the reviews seem to confirm. I mean, it's the water itself that makes the fan spin, so it's not really adding any energy.

Guys, just taking out the flow restrictor will turn even the cheapest shower head into a "high pressure" head. Unless it has a mechanical pump built into the head, you'll never get more pressure that what comes into your house from the well/city supply.

srvy 05-22-2024 01:47 PM

Yeah if your pressure sucks quick fix is to see if you have a water saver bs in the head like FlaChief58 mentioned. If you have problems with pressure overall you need your pressure control valve checked and adjusted.

Some municipality's water departments will do a pressure check and even adjust it. If that doesn't help it may need replacement.

srvy 05-22-2024 01:57 PM

Anytime there is a water main break the pressure in the line bleeds off. If they bring it back up to pressure after the fix too fast without opening a few hydrants in the area it can screw up your pressure valve. You would hear your pressure valves venting off the pressure. It sounds like an air compressor with an air blower nozzle coming through your pipes. This can screw up the settings are damage your pressure valve. It happens a lot as they get lazy.

Yeah I was actually going to say the only thing that fan is accomplishing is restricting the water flow...ya know like the opposite of what you're looking to achieve LOL

Ours was awesome for a while. Then it quit working and I think the company was young enough then that they hadn't learned yet how to support their product.

ptlyon 05-22-2024 03:22 PM

That's why you trust and buy a Boomerang Poontang 3000 XL!

I drilled out the orifice in the shower head that complies with the water restriction requirements in some areas. Now my wife enjoys so much she hates going on vacation in dry regions. Muscle memory, as the body is very disappointed when the fire hose doesn't hit her back.

Got these recently for the gym and hiking about two months ago. The $30/pair ones. so far they work well, the fidelity isn't quite as good as my Airpod Pros, but that's fine for my purposes. They don't fall out of my ears when I'm lifting, waterproof, so light I forget I'm wearing them, very comfortable even after a couple hours of continuous wearing, and fairly sturdy, considering.


Total operation time isn't as long as my other earbuds, but still more than 3 hours, so good enough. Twice they didn't work correctly when trying to answer phonecalls, but the other half-dozen or so times they did.


Another thing I bought them for was to be able to hear people without having to take an earbud out of my ear, and that's worked exactly as I hoped.

Haven't actually tried swimming with them, but I don't foresee actually wanting to do that. But I did accidentally wear them in the shower a couple weeks ago, and that didn't bother them at all.

Overall, I'd give them 4 out of 5 stars.

Or, mix vinegar out of your cupboard with water. Then soak it in cider.

I'll buy five if it can guarantee me hair.

Another product I'm eyeballing that might just be a complete sham -

Been having foot issues, directed to a specialty shoe store.

They fitted me with Hokas, and I love them. I have an in step and the base on these things not only help correct that, but the walk is is amazing. Would recommend.

And be sure to get your foot size measured. I've always bought 11.5, that's all I have worn as an adult. He measured me to be a 13, this also is because of my current issues. I was amazed. He said as you get older, not only do your feet flatten out making them longer, so do your toes.

Anyway, YYMV, but I am extremely happy with them.

Speaking of bikes, if someone doesn't want to go the electric route, I highly recommend a belt drive bike with an internal gear hub. They are so smooth and quiet and shifting is a whole different experience. With the internal gear hub, you can shift gears even while you are stopped.

My CPAP pillow I bought a month or so ago has been great. It keeps my mask free from being knocked off and best part, my neck pain I had from bad posture is gone after months since the pillow is perfect height for posture alignment.
