Personal Care Reviews

I would first like to say. If you order this product and it does not work for you be sure and return it before 30 days from date of purchase. Not from the date recieved. I bought this product on November 26th for my son for Christmas. When he returned and said he followed instructions and it doesnt work I immediately called for return instructions. I was informed that the 30 days had passed (which the date I called was Janurary 1st) I explained it was a Christmas gift and we just now found out it doesn't work. I was told I could not recieve a refund because the 30 days had passed. I feel that with the holdiay season I should get some slack. I talked with the President until he finally agreed to give me a partial refund. I am still out 57 dollars plus what it is going to cost me to ship it back. He claimed the patches even though they have never been opened are not refundalbe. I would like to hear from people who have used this product and it does work.

You are better off with an old school mercury thermometer.

I recently purchased this ...and much to my surprise, it arrived with weak batteries, I never even got one salinity check. It did have batteries as the lcd display flashed numbers. I contacted Oregon Scientific and requested that they delivery more batteries; they would not.
I expect to get some life out of a newly purchased product and I'd think that Oregon Scientific would either deliver a functioning product or say batteries needed.

I was pleased with how it worked innitially. The slight "buzzing" while it was on was definitally audible, and might be annoying to some, but as it was in my closet, I didn't mind. The ozone it produces smells like an electrical short, so the imediate result was not a plesant smell. This electrical smell faded with time, and my shoes did loose the "old-used-shoe" odor, and those that I wore without socks *felt* fresher. So overall, I was pleased.

Unfortunately, one of the two "wands" stopped working after about 2 months. The second "wand" starter to peter-out after 3 months.

I've further lowered my rating because I am having difficulty reaching the manufaturer for repair/replacement. The box claims that the item has a one-year waranty, but I can't find a phone number or any specific information on how to return the unit.

It is possible that I just got the one bad unit out of a large number of excellent ionic shoe fresheners, but I might never know, as I am having difficulty returning the thing.

The product itself may be stupendous but $10 for S/H!!! I could have walked there & back to pick them up myself for less!!!!
