Ozeri ZK20 Touch III Multifunction 22 lbs (10 kg) Digital Kitchen Scale for Baking, Cooking and More! #Review

Ozeri ZK20 Touch III Multifunction 22 lbs (10 kg) Digital Kitchen Scale

Ozeri is a company that offers modern and unique products which include digital bathroom and kitchen scales, salt and pepper mills, thermo glassware, stainless steel earth pans, wine openers, blood pressure monitors, and so much more! 

The Ozeri Touch III 22 lbs (10 kg) Digital Kitchen Scale is the latest product that I had the pleasure to try out recently. It came packaged securely and includes 2 AAA batteries which are easily inserted into the bottom part of the scale. This beautiful looking kitchen scale is about the size of my iPad and is made of tempered glass. It's a sleek thin design and is black in color.

This scale features some unique attractions such as a calendar, clock, alarm timer, and temperature/humidity function. I've used the timer and it has a nice beeping sound, which worked good to remind me when my cookie bars were done baking in the oven. It also weighs items up to 22 lbs, which is a lot of weight for a little scale. So far I've tried it out on a bowl of leftover chicken noodle and a couple of bananas to try out and was impressed at how quick it works.

The tare function comes in handy to calculate the net weight of your ingredients, minus the container. This is great for measuring foods that you want to package for freezing, such as hamburger. I also freeze peppers in the summer for using in my chili so this will be a nice help. This way you will get the same the amount in each bag with no guessing.

The temperature and humidity modes are an extra bonus. We've been keeping the heat turned down this winter to try and save money on our gas bill. According to the temperature shown on the scale, it coincides with what I have our thermostat set to. More importantly, it is neat to know the temperature and humidity when you are baking, because it can affect some types of recipes you may be making, such as bread.

Besides everything I have mentioned, this alluring and modern kitchen scale can be hung on your kitchen wall by using the notched hole which is located towards the top of the back of it. It can also be set up on your kitchen counter by pulling out a built in stand towards the bottom of the back.

If you are interested in getting one for yourself you may find the Ozeri ZK20 Touch III on Amazon.

Keeping Track of My Weight with the OZERI REV DIGITAL BATHROOM SCALE with ELECTRO-MECHANICAL WEIGHT DIAL #Ozeri #Review

Ozeri Rev Digital Bathroom Scale with Electro-Mechanical Weight Dial

Disclosure: A free product was received for review purposes. However, all opinions expressed here are my own 

If you're anything like me, all you have to do is look at a piece of pie or cake and you gain five pounds. Well, you get the idea. It's a struggle for me to keep at a certain weight and I'm not a real big eater.

Now that the weather is warm (and it's just February) the thoughts of wearing shorts and tank tops are already in my mind. I've done pretty good this winter but have gained more than I was in the summer.

It's because in the winter we Michiganders - yes, that's what we're called - tend to hibernate and stay indoors. The pounds do tend to creep up over time. I'm so happy spring is on the way!.

To help me keep track of my weight I recently received an Ozeri Rev Digital Bathroom Scale with Electro-Mechanical Weight Dial. First of all, I have reviewed many Ozeri products in the past and they always package their items very securely and safely with lots of care. This means a lot to me when I order something and get it in great condition.

From the manufacturer:

The Ozeri Rev Digital Bathroom Scale with Electro-Mechanical Weight Dial is the world's first weight scale to incorporate a synchronized electro-mechanical Dial and LCD that automatically illuminate and point to your weight in lbs and kg, for easy-to read results in all light conditions and from any angle.

Boasting a visually arresting design, the Ozeri Rev scale features a huge 5.5 inch mechanical dial display with an integrated digital blue-backlit LCD, accented by stylish chrome to create a distinctive retro look, yet with the accuracy of modern technology. This professional quality scale features an oversized platform made of impact-resistant tempered glass with slip-resistant feet for ideal stability, and a new built-in alarm that reminds you to measure your weight at the same time each day.

This bathroom scale is a very sleek looking scale, with a black glass top which really looks attractive and modern. After reading the directions, I found out that you should keep the scale out of a humid area and in a dry location. This is to keep from the possibility of a malfunction or getting an inaccurate measurement. I have a hallway next to one of my bathrooms and keep it under a stand which works well for me.

Of course with any scale, I never weigh myself on a carpet, which will make you get an incorrect reading. It's recommended to weigh yourself on a hard and flat floor to get the most accurate measurement.

Included with the beautiful looking scale is 3 AAA batteries, which are easily inserted into the bottom of the scale. After inserting the batteries the scale activates and the LCD screen lights up for a few second and then it turns off. After that you are ready to weigh yourself.

Normally I weigh myself in the morning before breakfast, and with my pj's on. Since it was afternoon when I weighed myself, I weighed a few pounds more, which was normal. I just had a doctor's visit and the scale showed just about the same amount as the Ozeri Rev Digital Scale did.

The scale also includes a mechanical dial, which you can see in the picture above. I would say that it matches the lit up number pretty closely, which is neat to see. I didn't have any problem viewing the LCD light or the mechanical version.

Something that I've never seen with a bathroom scale in the past is the option to have a the daily reminder alarm.This way you can weigh yourself at the same time each day. You can activate this by pressing the button "24H/Alarm" located under the scale. 

Besides calculating your weight in pounds the scale also has the ability to calculate in kilograms. To do this you can change it by using the "Unit" button, which is also located underneath the scale. For any other questions or how to operate the scale, you get a user manual, which is very easy to understand.

I've only had the Ozeri Rev Digital Bathroom Scale with Electro-Mechanical Weight Dial for a few days but am pleased with how it has worked so far.

Ozeri OZP1 Movie Time 26 Cup Healthy Popcorn Maker ~ #Review #Ozeri

Ozeri OZP1 Movie Time 26 Cup Healthy Popcorn Maker

I'm a popcorn lover, and eat it just about every night! It's a cheap snack and is a good source of fiber. I'm one for enjoying a large bowl of popcorn while watching an old movie. It's relaxing and a nice time to unwind from the day.

Recently I got the chance to get the Ozeri OZP1 Movie Time 26 Cup Healthy Popcorn Maker which was pretty exciting to me! I don't like using oil to make my popcorn so this was right up my alley. This is a hot air popcorn popper and makes your popcorn taste so much better than those microwaveable pre-packaged ones you can buy in the store. All you need is the popcorn, plus salt and butter to add if you like it that way - which is what I do.

This popcorn popper comes in a pretty bright red color which looks so nice on a kitchen countertop, and doesn't take up much room to store away. I love how this popper is faster than using a microwave, which is what I always use to make my popcorn. 

 You get a plastic measuring cup to place your kernels in, and then pour into the popper's base. Do not use not more than 1/3 cup of popcorn at a time. I placed one of my very large bowls under the chute to hold the popcorn. It only took a few minutes and I didn't measure how much popcorn it made, but it was a nice size bowl for my movie watching. There were some that kernels that didn't pop but that's usually the case when you're popping any type of popcorn. 

The popcorn maker's measuring cup can also be used to melt butter in. I didn't use this as yet but all you do is place it on top of the cover and the butter melts while popping your corn.

Along with the Ozeri OZP1 Movie Time 26 Cup Healthy Popcorn Maker you get an instruction booklet with all the directions and safeguards.

If you are interested it may be found on Amazon for $28.45 as of this date.

Ozeri OW08A-G Fascina Electric Wine Bottle Opener and Corkscrew - #Review #Ozeri

Ozeri OW08A-G Fascina Electric Wine Bottle Opener and Corkscrew - #Review #Ozeri

                   

Occasionally I have a small glass of wine when we have some of the family over for a holiday or birthday. We also use wine for cooking once in awhile to make some different types of pasta sauces that my daughter found the recipes for on-line.

In the past I've had bottles of wine that were so hard to get open with an ordinary corkscrew and it can be very frustrating. I always had to get my husband for assistance because it was too difficult for me to do. The Ozeri OW08A-G Fascina Electric Wine Bottle Opener and Corkscrew arrived the other day to help me out with this problem.

This wine opener comes in a lovely lime green color which is so beautiful looking (it even matches my walls). It uses 6 AAA batteries which are included, so there is no need to purchase them separately. All you do is unscrew the top of the opener to access the battery compartment.

I like that the Fascina is light and easy to handle, which makes it much more comfortable to use. Along with the wine opener you get a black foil cutter which fits in place on the top of the opener when not in use.

To remove a cork all you do is place the opener on the top of your wine bottle and push the black down arrow button. A tip is that you should keep the opener straight on the bottle and not have it tilted to work properly. 

As you activate the corkscrew the opener will go into the cork and remove it. Then all you do is release the button, pull the opener up off the bottle and your cork is removed. It's so easy that even I can do it! To remove the cork from the opener you just press the up button and it releases it. 

This is a neat gadget to have along with your wine supplies. You could even take it with you to a party and show it off to your friends.  

If interested in one for yourself, you can find the Ozeri OW08A-G Fascina Electric Wine Bottle Opener and Corkscrew on Amazon as of this date for $18.95.

Ozeri ZK18-WG Rev Digital Kitchen Scale with Electro-Mechanical Weight Dial #Review #Ozeri

Ozeri ZK18-WG Rev Digital Kitchen Scale with Electro-Mechanical Weight Dial #Review #Ozeri

It's a brand new year and the holidays are over. Before you know it, Valentine's Day will be here, then St. Patrick's Day and Easter! Time to start fresh and get things back in shape, starting with myself. During the holidays I went a little overboard with the cookies and other goodies. Now it's time to eat healthier! 

I was excited to get the The Ozeri Rev Digital Kitchen Scale with Electro-Mechanical Weight Dial which will help me monitor my food intake and hopefully shed a few pounds. This is a beautiful and very modern looking digital scale indeed! It comes in an attractive white color and sits nicely on my counter-top without taking up much room.

The scale takes 3 AAA batteries which are included so you don't have to go out and purchase batteries right away. They are easily inserted on the back of the scale with no problem. I really appreciate this because it's a nuisance when you want to use something and have to look for batteries right away. I like that this scale can calculate your ingredients with various units of weights, such as lb., oz., g, kg and ml. It even has a tare button so you can find out how much your net weight is when you have something in a bowl or other container. 

Sometimes when I'm using my glass measuring cup it's hard to see the precise measure with the lines on the cup. By using this scale I know I'm going to get the correct amount with no guessing. The scale works great and is fun to use too. The LCD screen lights up so the numbers are very easy to read with no problem. Additionally, it has a regular scale display where the hand moves. 

So far I've been using it for measuring some sugar in a glass measuring cup and a small bowl of chex mix that I made (and have been eating too much of). I measured both of these items in ounces but if you want to change the measurement all you do is press a button on the back of the scale.

I'm very happy with my new Ozeri ZK18-WG Rev Digital Kitchen Scale with Electro-Mechanical Weight Dial. Besides weighing food, you could also use it for weighing packages for mailing. Along the scale you get a User Manual and a Calorie Guide and U.S. Postal First Class Letter Rate Guide. It's a useful gadget that will come in handy from now on.

You can get one for yourself on Amazon for $20.14 as of this date.

Gravity Pro BPA-Free Electric Salt and Pepper Grinder Set by #Ozeri #review

Do you like freshly ground salt and pepper on your food? I know I do because it makes everything taste so much better than the regular stuff. If you want an elegant set to do the job of grinding your peppercorns and salt the Ozeri Gravity Pro BPA-Free Electric Salt and Pepper Grinder Set is the way to do it.

This is a beautiful set that comes packaged in an attractive and sturdy box which would be great for gift giving. Right away I was impressed with how modern these shakers were. The black and white outside coating material of them are smudge proof and they also have a comfortable smooth feel when using them.

The grinders each run by four AA batteries and you get eight batteries included with the set. This is great so you don't have to go out and purchase batteries right away. To fill the grinder all you do is press the button on the bottom part to turn off the battery dispensing operation. This is a nice feature so you don't have salt and pepper spilling all over when refilling.

Then you invert the grinder so the battery compartment is on the top, and the clear storage chamber easily pulls off. This is where you fill your spices. It's kind of a small space to fill but I didn't have a problem doing so by using a small funnel.

It's a pain when you need two hands to manually grind pepper and salt on my fresh veggies and food, but you don't have to worry about that with the Ozeri Gravity Pro. It only takes one hand to use! Just invert the grinder and it automatically activates the grinder. There is even an LED light that turns on when when you are using it.

The lids on the grinders are uniquely shaped and are nice to have on the grinders when not in use to keep clean. Additionally, you can turn a small screw on the top of the inside of the grinder to adjust to coarse or finer seasonings. You won't knock them over very easily either because they have a nice weight to them.

I'm happy with my new Ozeri Gravity Pro BPA-Free Electric Salt and Pepper Grinder Set and think they are about the nicest set I've seen!

If you are interested they can be found on Amazon for $25.36 as of this date.

Keep Food Fresher with Ozeri INSTAVAC Green Earth Food Storage Container Set ~ #Review #Ozeri

Disclosure: I received free product in exchange for a product review. However, all opinions expressed here are my own.

The Ozeri INSTAVAC Green Earth Food Storage Containers come in a set of 4 with lids included. The sizes of the plastic containers consist of the following: 5L (21 cups),  3L (12.7 cups), 1.5L (6.3 cups), and 0.7L (3 cups). I like that they are clear so you can see what is inside of them without opening the lids. They also nest inside of each other for easy storage, which is great because they don't take up as much room in your kitchen cabinets.

What's unique about these containers is that they have a date dial on the lids of each of them to keep track of when you store them in your refrigerator. This is great because I sometimes can't remember how long I've had some leftovers stored in the frig so just toss them out. With these lids you know exactly how old your food is.

These containers also have vacuum freshness and the valve removes excess air. To use all you do is press down on the lid and the air is released through the one-way valve. This way your food stays fresher longer.

 So far I've used one of my containers for storing fresh cherries in it and am happy that they are lasting longer. Since cherries are in season now I've been eating them like crazy. I had been just putting them in the refrigerator with the store bought zippered bag they they come and they start getting shriveled after a few days. The Ozeri INSTAVAC Green Earth Food Storage Containers has been keeping them fresh for days longer and they aren't shriveling up like before. This is a savings of money for me!

These containers are BPA free and can even be used to store foods in the freezer. The bottom of the containers have wavy ridges on the bottom of them which are made for keeping juices elevated from your fruit or veggies so they don't get saturated and soggy.  All 4 sides of the containers have flaps to fold down and snap tight. They are also dishwasher safe for easy cleanup.

 I'm very happy with my new Ozeri INSTAVAC Green Earth Food Storage Container Set and know they will be used from now for keeping my food fresher longer.

You can find them on Amazon as of this date for $22.35.

Measure Your Weight, Fat, Hydration, Muscle and Bone Mass with the Ozeri Touch II Total Body Bath Scale #Ozeri #Review

Ozeri Touch II Total Body Bath Scale

 I was happy to receive this scale a couple of days ago (packaged very securely and safely) and it had come at a great time. I've gained a few pounds recently and want to get back to where I was. It's not a good feeling when you go over what you normally weigh, especially when it's summer. Guess I've been going overboard with the snacks at night.

My new scale is going to help me keep in check to keep track of my weight. First of all the Ozeri Touch II Total Body Bath Scale is a beautiful scale which comes included with 2 lithium batteries and has 4 touch sensitive buttons. It's made of high tempered glass which the company says is impact resistant and it really looks like a strong and durable scale. 

This scale actually can do so many things that it's really amazing. It can measure your weight of course - but it also can calculate body fat, muscle mass, bone measurements and hydration. You can enter your age, height, gender and weight on the scale and it generates an estimate of all of these measurements for you. The scale uses an avanced bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) to calculate your date, which I had never heard of before. It sounds very scientific though, I might say. I did read these warnings in the instruction manual: "BIA sends a harmless signal through the body. Do not use this product if you have a pacemaker or other internal medical device. When in doubt, contact your physician." It also says: "This product is not intended for children or pregnant women."

Besides measuring your own stats, this awesome scale includes an an infant tare technology. What is that - you might ask? It's made so you can easily weigh your baby by weighing yourself, stepping off, and then then again while holding the baby. You could even use this if you want to see how much your pet weighs. The scale will display both weights on separate sections of the LCD light. I haven't tried this because I don't have a baby (or pet) but you could even use it for luggage, so you don't go over the weight limit at the airport and have any surprises.

You can have up to 8 users with the Ozeri Touch II Total Body Bath Scale and it can store all of your family member's information to keep track of their data. I've been having fun trying out and learning about my new scale. The bright LED light is easy to see and the scale is very elegant looking. I compared it with another scale that I have and it was the close to the same weight. The scale measures up to 440 pounds and it automatically goes on when you step on it and goes off after a few seconds when you step off.

I'm impressed with all of the unique features the Ozeri Touch II. It is the fanciest scale I have ever owned.

If you are interested in this scale for yourself it may be found on Amazon as of this date for $39.95.

Keep Cool This Summer with the Ozeri 360 Oscillation Tower Fan #Ozeri #Review

Ozeri 360 Oscillation Tower Fan, with Micro-Blade Noise Reduction Technology

Now that spring is here we're finally getting some nice days but some days aren't hot enough to put the air conditioner on. I usually prefer it a bit warmer than my husband, although I don't like it toasty hot. He likes it a tad cooler and enjoys have a fan blowing right on him. The Ozeri 360 Oscillation Tower Fan, with Micro-Blade Noise Reduction Technology I received recently came at a very good time indeed.

The fan came packaged securely with no problem and is so easy to install that it's a piece of cake. All you do it put the two halves of the base together and thread the power cord through the center hole. Then secure it with the 3 screws provided and that is it. You don't need any other tools at all - which I really appreciated. Easy as pie! I'm not one to put things together very well and my husband has been busy with outdoor work lately so he didn't have to help me.

Included with the fan is a programmable timer which has 3 settings of breeze types - such as normal, nature and sleep. It is not loud but has a soothing quiet sound which I think is quite relaxing. I was watching television with the fan running and it doesn't interfere at all. I also like that it has an LED display on the top that lights up which makes it easy to read all the functions. It even tells the temperature of the room which is a nice feature. In addition, you get a remove control (with battery included) if you want to use it while sitting or even while in bed. There is also a night mode feature on the fan which dims the LED screen display if you don't want the bright lights at night.

The Ozeri 360 Oscillation Tower Fan has various choices of circulation flow you can choose from: 60, 90, 120 or 360 degrees. This way you can have it circulate through just part of the room or all through it. It really pushes the air out and moves it around! The fan is a slim design which can easily fit in a small space so it doesn't take up a lot of room. It fits nicely in any corner of my small house with no problem and stands 38 inches in height. It's all black in color and looks attractive without interfering with other decor.

If you are interested you may find it on Amazon.

Ozeri Gourmet Digital Kitchen Scale in Tempered Glass ~ #Review #Ozeri

Disclosure: I received complimentary product from Ozeri for review purposes and all opinions expressed here are my own.

Ozeri Gourmet Digital Kitchen Scale in Tempered Glass With Timer, Alarm and Temperature Display

Ozeri has amazing modern products for your home that you should really look into. I have had the pleasure to try a variety of their products and am always amazed at how sleek and wonderfully made they are.

I received the Ozeri Gourmet Digital Kitchen Scale in Tempered Glass the other day and was thrilled to see how it worked. This scale is so attractive with it's smooth glass top and touch sensitive buttons. The scale runs with 3 AAA batteries which are included and are so easy to insert on the back side of the scale.

You will be amazed at all this scale can do. It has a timer, alarm, and temperature display with a blue back-lit display so it's easy to read with no problem. I can even see it without having my glasses on. You could use this scale in so many ways. If you're watching your weight by checking calories...it's a great scale for weighing your food. You also get a nice booklet which includes a ton of food that show the common measure and amount of calories for each item. In the back of the booklet it also shows rates for mailing envelopes by the ounce size.

You can use this awesome little scale for so many different sizes which is great. It can weigh up to 11 pounds or as low as 0.4 ounces. In addition to ounces and pounds, the scale can measure in grams and kilograms. The temperature mode on the scale is great also if you're a baker and need to have a certain temperature for your baking needs. And having a timer...well that's something I always need in the kitchen.

I think the tare feature is a nice addition because it can calculate the net weight of your ingredients when using a bowl or plate. All you do is place the container on the scale and press the z/T button to operate it. The weight of the bowl will reset to zero so you can weigh the ingredients inside the bowl.

 Because it is so slim and doesn't take up much room at all, the scale could easily be stored in a drawer or would look great sitting on a kitchen counter too. To clean all you do is wipe with a damp cloth. If you're looking for a sleek and functional kitchen scale, the Ozeri Gourmet Digital Kitchen Scale in Tempered Glass may be for you.
