IT WORKS...but not the way you would think. There are no magnets, elements, etc. The WORDS "Power" and "Balance" are the constant MESSAGES your subconcious keeps receiving especially because of the HOLOGRAM. The hologram keeps flashing like a light or a fish lure CONSTANTLY getting your unconsious attention to the WORDS "Power" "Balance" "and "Performance". IT REALLY WORKS. You will feel better unless you are blind. ITS THE CONSTANT auto-suggestion of these WORDS that manifest the RESULTS. REALLY !

No it's a piece of crap. It won't work for anything because it's fake and not possible to even do what it says. I fell for it as I'm sure alot of other people did.

I checked a few of the reviewers posting histories. While the ones who have only a single record of reviewing any product might be cause for suspicion, there are many other reviewers whose records appear to be legitimate. I'd suggest that this is not a case of a manufactured conspiracy, but simply a case of poor manufacturing quality control. The buyers who got good units were very satisfied. The buyers who got less-than-good-units were not very satisfied. BTW, this product is currently on sale at a daily-deal website for $69.99 delivered. Your review (and others complaining of poor quality) convinced me to purchase this product ONLY if covered by a "satisfaction guaranteed" warranty.

I emplore you to avoid buying anything from Nyrius!!! They don't stand behind their pricing, and I believe they outsource production(no replacement parts if it breaks, or you loose something). They had this translator listed on their website for $20 less than on Amazon, and insisted thst they don't maintain their own website, and therefore would not honor the price. I called them on their bait-and-switch tactic, and they brushed it off as a technical error. So now they have me and about 15 others that they screwed, that feel it's our duty to inform anyone who asks, what they are all about. I recommend either Lexibook or Franklin, which are great products. Good luck!!! I emplore you to avoid buying anything from Nyrius!!!

I was very nearly sucked in by this post. I went to shopsunshine, and they have very good prices. Then I checked them out at the Better Business Bureau. They have an unsatisfactory rating and many complaints. Check them out on the BBB before buying!

Same feeling here. I have never seen a product with 93 5-star reviews and only 1 one negative, 1-star. Nothing in-between. Seriously??? Plus a number of people have mainly Ozeri reviews. Plus all these reviews are extremely frequent: one every few days. What are the chances???

I see this stuff all the time, makes me mad. I think the purpose is to make it look like you are getting a huge discount and a really great deal by showing the suggested retail price, which no one ever really pays in real life, against the selling price. It's a gimmick I am sure. Be smart people, when you see stuff like that, it may not always be as big a bargin as it appears to be. Having said that, I did purchase one for a gift so we shall see if it is even worth the $24.99.

I just got mine in the mail. I have given it a thorough examination and it is almost certainly legit. If it isn't, I think it was less profitable to knock it off so well than it would have been to just become a distributer for Japan Porlex. It seems like there is an active, corrupt, concerted effort to knock this Amazon offering. I almost didn't go for it, because of some of the spooky reviews, but I'm so glad I did.

I just wanted to warn people. After I saw the post by "Internet Shopper" I did some quick background reasearch on basics4home (the person/company selling the TV for $1649). On Ebay the guy/company got a lot of negative comments recently - check this out http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid;=basics4home&ftab;=AllFeedback.So be warnwed - I would have been tempted - but the feedback about him being a potential scamster puts me off.

Hi Rebecca, I am not advertising anything. I just gave a review. It's been month but I think I bought it for someone else. From other reviews online, it's just a gimmick. So it does not work as advertise, it's for gullible people and I was one.

It helps if you pick "verified purchaser" when you look at the reviews, and also compare the 1-star reviews (and how many are verified purchasers) to the higher ones... if there are a lot of low ranking reviews from verified purchasers, beware...

I would agree - most of the reviews look fake. Even really good products get one or two bad reviews. I really wish Amazon had a way or reporting abuse for that type of thing. (This not the only product I've seen this happen with).

Horrible experience. Made me sick. Naturally I then had to research this company. They are a home spun hillbilly operation out of Mississippi. Look them up on YouTube and and you can see Tim Durham the owner talking and also some extremely poorly made advertisements for their product. It's embarrassing and I would never put anything that came from these people into my body again! This is basically made in somebody's backyard.Also notice the item description pleading about how they are a "real company". It seems like a scam trying a little too hard to look legitimate. How about some videos of their facilities? Is it a barn? Horrible experience. Made me sick. Naturally I then had to research this company. They are a home spun hillbilly operation out of Mississippi.

Nope, NOTHING. Here's a teardown I did of the whole system: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjxcgQF0t_w100% scam...

I, too, bought it based on the rave reviews. Add me to the list of those who question the veracity of many of them. For such a simple product, it's one of the most disappointing purchases I've made. I can't see it scoring so high. It wouldn't surprise me if many of the 5 star reviews are fake. All I know is I would never, ever, buy it again.
