Fit & Fresh Stainless Steel Shaker Cup Save 37% off
Even as the previous review doesn''t seem genuine.. I am a full 5 star fan of this shaker. I am back today to purchase 2 more for friends. It is really great. Definitely does not hold the odor that a plastic shaker cup can hold after mixing a protein shake. In the past I would bleach my shaker cups to get them very clean before using them again, but that seems to degrade the plastic that the cup is made of.. so that quickly ended. I stuck to just mixing shakes in large cups and eventually buying the Rubbermaid© plastic containers as a substitute. The issue there was cleanup was difficult and the seal on them really wasn''t made for that kind of use.So I find these Fit & Fresh Cleantek Stainless Steel Shaker Cup, Stainless Steel, 26-Ounces.. and I am in a very happy place :) They cleanup well, the lid goes on tight.. the airflow through the top is perfect when drinking through the sip cup lid.. and they hold a proper size shake that can actually be a good pre-or post workout beverage... it really is a great product. I have had mine for a few weeks now and cleanup is awesome. One I forgot in the sink when i was letting it sit with ht water, and no issue on the smell after I washed it, as would have been with a plastic cup. I highly recommend this shaker cup. I don''t think you can be disappointed.
P.S.
I realize that it is a bit more pricey than may shaker cups.. but at teh rate i was replacing them.. i think it''s worth it.
Cons: difficult to clean the lid, the shaker piece does not come apart and is difficult to get inside the lid to clean. Wish it was doubled walled. Very cold drinks (as when using ice) make it very cold to the touch.
PROS: Great size, easy to use, seals great, have had no issues, when closed right, with ANY leakage, NONE, which is a plus for me as this is always my main frustration with this type of containter. The drink spout is a good size and is very easy to drink from. containier fits well in cup holder. Overall good solid cup and will last a long time.
NOTE** I wash the container by hand, says it''s diswasher safe, but I''d rather not risk ruining the gasket in the lid or damaging the outside of the cup, very nice looking. I''m very pleased with the purchase but I''ll be looking for a double walled version.

I wish more stainless steel shakers were available. Fortunately this shaker is quite well made. The lid has what looks like a silicone gasket and has never leaked so far.If you have ever left a plastic shaker with protein mix longer than day or more, no matter how hard you clean, there is always some smell left after it is dry. I found with this stainless steel shaker, you can really clean and remove all the residue.
The one problem with this shaker is the integrated agitator. You can not easily clean behind the agitator and will leave a smelly mess unless you use a dishwasher.
After I carefully cut the agitator out, this shaker is now the only one I use.

I''m excited for a stainless shaker. Sometimes plastic holds in a rotten smell even after washing if left unwashed overnight with protein. I don''t think I''ll have this problem with the stainless.Stainless is just more fresh or clean than plastic seems to be.
Another thing I love about this shaker is the inlet for air under the hinge. When you''re drinking it flows real nice due the inlet.
Under the lid is a mixing screen that is part of the lid = no wire ball to lose.
Everything seems to sill nicely and snug. No leaks.

I was looking for a stainless steel and leak-proof shaker cup for my post-workout protein drink. I have a number of Klean Kanteen SS bottles and I was aiming for that level of quality. All the 5-star reviews here had given me hope. Having used the Fit&Fresh cup a few times now and, while it doesn''t leak if tightened correctly, I''m a little disappointed with how tricky screwing on the cap can be. The grooves on the cap (and the mouth of the cup) are not cut deep or wide enough (like the KK). The plastic is also a little thinner than that of the KK. Combine with a bigger diameter, the cap "gives" a little too easily when I try to screw the cap on. I find it difficult to seat the cap and screw it on correctly. I usually have to try 2-3 times before the grooves "find each other." Also, the grill inside the cap is not removable so I have to squeeze a cleaning pad past the grill and use my finger to clean the underside of the cap. I don''t use it now when I work out at home because it''s too much of a hassle with the cap and the cleaning. I wish Klean Kanteen would make a shaker bottle.Save 37% off
Rivers Edge Products Full Body Horse Stainless Steel Water Bottle
This water bottle is great for my horse crazy daughter to take to school. I got one of each different scene for both my daughters. It''s large enough to last her the whole day without being filled to the brim and she LOVES the horses on the bottle beautiful!! The one thing I would have preferred with this is a top that you don''t have to screw off to drink out of the bottle I would have much preferred the option to have the type with the pull up spout to drink from; but my daughter still loves this despite not having the spout!

NBA Miami Heat 31-Ounce Glass Candy Jar
I love this glass candy jar. It could really be used for anything, but I used it as as candy jar. It was nice and thick, and the logo was on there pretty well. I was a little worried that it wouldn''t be secure before I purchased it, but I am very pleased with my purchase. I fit a lot of candy in it!
Blackburn Slick Racing Bottle Cage Save 15% off
I have two of these bottle cages on my road bike and they work great. I use Camelbak Podium Chill bottles and they fit very securely. I am trying to get my bike as light as possible and found this bottle cage. I could only find a couple of carbon fiber cages that weigh 3-4 grams less but cost $60-$70. For this price you almost have to get these bottle cages if you are a weight-weenie on a budget!
I tried to use sportsbasement bottles, then I bought Camelbak -the same problem. It''s an achievement to get the bottle out. And it''s very annoying. Bottles are all in scratches now. I''ve paid $30 for the pair. It isn''t so cheap so I was hoping to have better quality. My previous cage is twice as cheaper and very easy to use.
Buy Blackburn Slick Racing Bottle Cage Now
Having used this cage for about a month now, I''m happy with it but find that it is a bit difficult to get the water bottle out of the cage. Sharp design and light weight are nice and are a fraction of the cost of carbon cages. The trade-off is that the skinny holder arms grip tight onto the bottle, making it comparatively difficult to remove and restore the bottle, especially while biking but also when you''re not on the bike. This will of course vary with your bottle for reference, mine is a Camelbak insulated model.PROS:
Light
Cheap(er than carbon)
Nice Design
CONS:
Difficult to remove and restore insulated water bottle

I got two of these for free from my LBS with a bike. As other reviewers have mentioned, these have very positive retention and will scratch up your bottles (or as I prefer to think of it, gently "texturize" your bottles for better grip). Bottles do go in easier than they go out. If the tightness of your bottle cage makes a huge difference one way or the other as far as riding goes, it''s probably time to work on your bike handling skills. The plastic does feel torsionally flimsy and although they''ve lasted a few hundred miles now I can see how a person could snap one, especially if they struggle getting the bottle straight back into the cage. Again, if that''s an issue it might be time to work on your bike handling skills. If you crash, you will almost definitely snap one. IMO, you have way bigger problems on your hands after a crash than a snapped cheapo bottle cage, so again a non-issue for me. The biggest PROS: super light and you will NOT lose a bottle. I leave full bottles in my cages with the bike flipped over to work on it. Where they goin''? Nowhere! Overall, these are a good value if you can get them on Amazon for $10, but there are better (read "sturdier") options, especially if weight is not a consideration, in the $15+ range.Want Blackburn Slick Racing Bottle Cage Discount?

Blackhawk HydraStorm Nalgene Bottle
I''ve been using these bottles for well over 5 years and they go everywhere with me; work, commute, hiking, mowing the lawn, camping, etc. On work days, this bottle is with me from 6:30 am till 6:00 pm, at work or in the truck for the commute.I originally bought 2 of these for work because I''m a mechanic who works in a hot shop in south Louisiana and therefore I drink at least a gallon of water a day. I bought them from Blackhawk because I know from previous purchases that they don''t sell junk, they are geared towards the Military/tactical market and therefore intended to hold up to punishment.
They are great for me because I can operate the cap with one greasy hand; index finger through the hole and thumb flips the lid. If my electrolytes get low, the large opening with the top off gives plenty of room to quickly add some Gatorade powder at work or CamelBak elixir tabs when hiking. And for people who like ice, the large opening gives plenty of room to add full size ice cubes.
I have ABUSED these bottles, dropped many times, cleaned grease from the outside with brake cleaner, gone through extreme heat, extreme cold, been in the mud, dirt, sand, grime & rocks. Once it took a ride on top of my wife''s car and consequently went sliding down the street. The water stayed in the bottle and aside from the expected scratches, no other damage occurred.
This bottle has sat in my truck all day hundreds of times over the weekend, so if your worried how it holds up to heat, imagine how hot the inside of a truck gets in the sun, during the summer,and in south Louisiana! For cold, it once froze SOLID at a Cub Scout campout with my Son for his polar bear patch! (The recorded temp that night was 17 degrees). So through extreme heat and cold, no cracking or warpage, seals just as good, screw on cap just as good as new and flip lid (the thinner plastic on this bottle) fits exactly the same!
Usually, I wash it every 3 days in the dishwasher set on air-dry. The flip lid comes off easy to break the bottle down into 3 pieces for washing. And you might think the plastic hinges for the flip lid would break off after so much use , but after 5+ years, they are still just as strong. Also, being a Nalgene bottle, if you put fluids other than water, you don''t need to worry about the bottle retaining the taste, just wash (or even a good rinse) and your good to go.
The top seal isn''t perfect and may leak a little if inverted or laying on its side ,but it''s never been a problem for me since its always sitting up in a holster, cup holder, or sitting on my tool box. However, the rubber seal is just as good after 5+ years through hot, cold and many washings.
Oh, and back to holsters, I have 2. One is a Nalgene holster I use for simple hiking or backpacking. The second is a Maxpedition mini rollypoly folding dump pouch that I use when I want to carry a second bottle on hikes. I''ve been wanting to get another for harder core hikes and I''m looking at the "Blackhawk S.T.R.I.K.E. Utility Pouch" which is designed to work with this bottle. Although the other holsters haven''t been a problem, the S.T.R.I.K.E. is more secure with the over flap and also has MOLLE loops so I can secure it to my pack better.
So why am I buying 2 more bottles since my old bottles are still going strong? Only because I bought a smaller sized backpack (Maxpedition Pygmy Falcon-II) for my Son who is going to Boy Scout camp this summer. He will be taking merit badge classes and won''t need the excess weight from his big hydration bladder full of water. Also, the bottles will be easier for him to see exactly how much water he has, easier to refill and maintain a full supply, and at bedtime he can have 1 by his bed at easy reach like he does at home. Oh, and these bottles fit the side pockets of the Maxpedition Pygmy Falcon-II PERFECTLY!
These have held up so well that the only way I see the need of me buying another for myself is if they make a purple one with LSU printed on it. I would definitely recommend these to anyone, especially for someone who is as hard on gear as I am!
It keeps it shut and when you drink, no spilling of water or mess.
Worth the cost over the old style nalgene large lip bottles.

I love this bottle. I have put just about every drinkable fluid in it, without any residual taste. This container is durable and can''t be broken. This container is far better, in my opinion, than the wide mouth container that spills when drinking on the go. I like this container so much, that this in my second one, after I lost my first bottle. I have backpacked, worked out, and traveled the globe with this container and couldn''t be happier with it! I would note that the cap is different that pictured, and the "sage green" may indicate the cap not the bottle itself, unlike my last bottle that was as pictured with an all black cap.Read Best Reviews of Blackhawk HydraStorm Nalgene Bottle Here
I''ve owned 3 different Nalgene bottles over the last 10 years. Still own all 3. Had this one for month now and it is my favorite because the mouth part is smaller than the traditional bottles thus making it easier to drink from. No spills. Love the color as well almost an olivedrab type finish.Want Blackhawk HydraStorm Nalgene Bottle Discount?
Overall, I enjoy the bottle for its size and ease--you fill it once and don''t fill it again for quite a while because it''s so large. You aren''t going back to refill it constantly due to its large size. Also, because this provides me with a lot of water constantly next to me, I am much more tempted to drink more water as it''s right there and I don''t have to get up and fill up any cups repeatedly (how lazy, right?).This, however, can also be its downside. Because it''s so wide in size, it does not fit into my backpack to carry around during school like my Camelback did. I am always afraid it is going to fall out because it fits into the pocket but it does not go all the way down. Other than the tiny mesh pockets on the side of the backpack, there is nowhere I could put it. I just feel like 32oz. of water could spill out on me at any moment due to its wide size making it not fit anywhere securely.
I was expecting the cap to be somehow different on this bottle. I don''t know what I was expecting, but I was a bit surprised at the cap. (To me it was not obvious from the pictures how the cap would perform as I''ve never owned a Nalgene bottle.) The cap feels much more cheaply made compared to the rest of the bottle. It''s thin plastic and can be squished on the sides to open the bottle. This means that if you hit the cap on the side or squish it on the sides, the bottle may open. Basically, it does not offer a very secure lock. I filled this up completely with water and closed it and turned it upside down and shook it. The water did not break free, but if I tapped the cap on the side to move it, it opens up and spills out. I feel like I constantly have to be making sure I am aware it is there and thinking about it so it does not pop open and unleash a waterfall on me and my things. I''ve never had it open and leak on me but I am definitely sure it could happen because of the design of the cap.
Overall, I wish the bottle was less wide and longer lengthwise so it would fit into my backpack but this is a personal preference. I wish the cap was a bit more secure as this much water is quite heavy to carry around and the danger of this spilling due to a weak sealing cap is quite frightening!
Iron Man 22 Oz Water Bottle
My son was extremely excited to receive this water bottle as you will find, there are very few Iron Man themed water bottles on the market. He got to use it twice before I realized that it had a crack in it. It is now in our recycling bin. Very disappointed.
Precor EFX 5.33 Premium Series Elliptical Fitness Crosstrainer Save 8% off
It took a couple of weeks to arrive, but I love it! I use it about every other day. You can make it as easy or as difficult a workout as you wish. It is great to be able to go upstairs and workout and not have to drive to the gym. The assembly was not difficult, but the pieces are very heavy to carry to the second floor. The machine is easy to program, has a variety of levels, and it is a great overall workout!
I highly recommend this product.

We chose this elliptical because we were familiar with the Precor name from our fitness club. It is holding true to the quality we thought we would get. This is a solid built machine. It gives a good workout. We had a little trouble assembling it but I think that was more our fault than the instructions. A tip on assembling don''tput the magazine rack back on until the end. That way you can make sure the arms are installed correctly. This is where we went wrong. We love the machine it''s great!Want Precor EFX 5.33 Premium Series Elliptical Fitness Crosstrainer Discount?
When my Precor EFX 5.33 Elliptical was delivered, I was disappointed that it was not 100% complete or fully functional. The heart rate monitor did not work (although I know my chest strap works because it works with other Precor Ellipticals at the gym). Also, the top cover/magazine rack for the front stand was missing from the box and had to be re-ordered from Precor. It is a solid, good quality machine, but at $4,500 I would have expected better quality control for a "Premium" Elliptical from Precor.Save 8% off
