The Burn Machine helps you shed those pounds
The recent spate of holidays might have actually caused you to gain a couple more pounds around the waist, and since you have started off your New Year with a bang, resolutely making sure you are able to shed all those love handles around your waist, here is a little bit of outside help that you might want to consider. I am talking about the £119.99 Burn Machine, where you need not head down to the gym and give the speed bag a good walloping. Rather, this 12lb contraption is capable of letting you replicate all the different actions performed by boxers on speed bags, right in the comfort of your own home. Nice to know you need not smell Good Guy Greg’s sweat anymore, right?
The Burn Machine has already caused a storm in the fitness world, where it will be able to deliver an amazing workout from the core outwards thanks to a range of exercises. You will hold it away from your body, where you mimic a speedball routine (use your imagination here) by performing a hand-bike-like circular motion, as you go ahead to spin it via its rotating grips. You can also opt to walk, march or perform mobile lunges while circulating The Burn Machine, regardless of height or angle to make sure those calories are burnt away – for good.
Jamproof Programmable Pet Feeder
Whenever you are away for a couple of days and do not want to incur any more expenses on your already tight monthly budget, then you would surely take your chances by leaving your beloved pet cat all alone at home – closing all avenues of escaping at the same time. As for feeding issues, it is nice to know that there are automatic pet feeders out there, but what happens when modern technology runs into some trouble and gets jammed? Enter the $249.95 Jamproof Programmable Pet Feeder, I suppose.
This programmable device is capable of dispensing kibble automatically, making sure your beloved feline is properly fed on schedule – and I am quite sure dog kibble would work fine, too, although a dog who has yet to be house-trained to do its potty business at the same spot might not be such a good idea to be away from for a couple of days. This model ensures no jams happen thanks to a patented flexible drive mechanism which is said to be virtually impossible to clog. It plays nice with moist of wet kibble, so go on and take that long deserved break without any worries!
Stargate Coasters
Love the Stargate series? Fret not, you are not going to open up any wormholes in your home to turn it upside down when an alien visits you with the Stargate Coasters, where they will retail anywhere from $24.99 to $29.99, depending on the model (SG-1 or Stargate Universe). I would not be surprised to hear from some of you that this was unearthed from some Egyptian sand dune or abandoned excavation site considering the amount of detail that was invested into the production process, but chances are, this is mass manufactured in some factory over at China.
Boasting felt-feet that ensures your tabletop remains unscratched, these coasters will measure 4.57″ in diameter and makes for the perfect ice breaker at any party, especially when the folks you invite over start to chat about Stargate and displaying their sci-fi side of them which you never knew existed before. It would be cooler if future versions had this glowing display to simulate the perfect wormhole effect, although the price might just increase five-fold then.
Internal Combustion Engine Kit
Ever wondered how your vehicle’s engine worked, if you are like one of the many millions out there with a standard car? Well, if you are curious enough to find out, there is always a Flash animation somewhere online to discover, but some of us prefer touching the real thing in our hands. The $49.95 Internal Combustion Engine Kit would be able to do the job just right, where it boasts of a working 1/10 scale model of a 4-cylinder internal combustion engine. This kit will feature more than 100 ABS plastic parts that will work in unison, as long as you use the included tools the right way.
The Haynes Manual that comes with it will help guide the entire construction process to completion, boasting step-by-step instructions as well as vivid, clearly printed diagrams. The transparent cylinder block will let you check out just how the connected parts work in tandem to get your vehicle up and running, while small applications of vegetable oil provide the necessary lubrication required. As for the engine itself, it will operate thanks to a small battery-powered electric motor that runs off a couple of AA batteries. I would say that I myself am mesmerized to see it work.
Traveler’s Circulation Enhancing Leg Massager
For folks who tend to do a whole lot of traveling, you would certainly know all the relevant exercises to release the tension of your body, including performing the right kind of exercises on your calves and rotating your feet from time to time, which works great if you happen to be on a long haul flight. Well, thanks to the wonders and advances of technology, we now have the $39.95 Traveler’s Circulation Enhancing Leg Massager.
This cordless device is said to improve circulation in your leg whenever you travel. The device will wrap itself around a calf, where it can inflate and deflate automatically, in order to facilitate the expansion and contraction of calf muscles so that there will not be any swelling in the long run, while blood flow will be enhanced. You can set it to cycle through three different compression levels, where each program takes around 15 minutes. Powered by a couple of AA batteries, it can fits up to a 20″ diameter calf.
Fingerprint Recognizing Espresso Machine
Are you a coffee lover? Well, if you have answered in the affirmative, then here is something which you might just want to check out, especially if you happen to share the same house with others who have an equal (or more) love of caffeine as with you. After all, those living under the same roof as you might want to use your expensive Italian coffee machine, so it makes perfect sense for you to enhance your passion with the $3,200 Fingerprint Recognizing Espresso Machine, as you will learn in the paragraph below.
This is one unique espresso machine which is capable of scanning your fingertip so that it will know just how to churn out the kind of drink that you like. Made in Italy as well, it will make the correct kind of drink associated with the fingerprint scanned. This is a fully automatic machine that is capable of generating 15 bar of pressure and pre-infuses the coffee grinds with water so that it can extract rich, complex coffee with a thick crema. There is also an integrated ceramic burr grinder which sports eight coarseness settings, where it grinds coffee only for the drink being made so that freshness remains at an optimal level. It can stash up to half a dozen fingerprints and drink profiles in its database.
Portal Christmas Tree
Fans of the video game Portal as well as its sequel will definitely be able to jive with this cute looking Christmas tree – especially when one half of it is sinking down into the floor, while the other half cheekily pokes it’s top out from the ceiling. The light effects that comprise of the rings on both the bottom and the top also add to the overall effect, and good thing none of the presents were harmed or split into half – in fact, there are no presents whatsoever under the tree, simply because the law of gravity would supercede whatever portals that open up, and the presents would just fall down onto the floor, through the portal, and back again – ad infinitum. Best to stash this year’s goodies elsewhere in a safe and stable place, don’t you think so? That must be some special kind of glue used to make sure the top part of the tree remains stuck to the ceiling throughout this Christmas season.
Path Illuminating Umbrella
We have seen an LED Umbrella in the past that offers some sense of illumination whenever you take that long and lonely walk back home, with all the streetlights seemingly working against your fears as they remain turned off for no particular reason. Well, that is a rather general shower of light, and as we all know, it is always better to remain focused in life – hence the $39.95 Path Illuminating Umbrella.
This umbrella will feature a flashlight that has been specially built into the handle, where it will do its job well to illuminate paths during dark, rainy strolls. At the flashlight’s end, it can articulate up to 180º (maximum 90º perpendicular to the umbrella’s fiberglass shaft), making sure your next step is always a safe one, thanks to a trio of bright white LEDs that deliver 100 lumens of brightness. Boasting corrosion-resistant fiberglass ribs and speaders that will help support its 60″ nylon gust-resistant canopy, it comes with a manual open/close mechanism and pinchless runner. Powered by a trio of AAA batteries, they offer up to 48 hours of non-stop lighting action.
