4.0 out of 5 stars Nifty little thing - 3.75 stars, April 1, 2008

This review is from: Rocketech Count Down to Slim Calorie, Carb and Fat Counting System (Health and Beauty)

I liked the idea of this product so I bought it. It is relatively easy to use, with just a few pushes of two buttons, it can keep track of your daily numbers. It's very light . . . almost so light that I feel like it will break, but I have yet to break it. It has a "lock" feature so the buttons can't be pushed when in your pocket. It will also turn off if you haven't used it in awhile so that it saves batteries.

The one thing that I don't like is that it beeps every time you push a button. So if you are looking to keep track of calories discretely, know that it will make a beep every time you push a button. You may be pushing the button as many as 7-25 times to enter in a number. And might take you 3 times that, depending on how many things you are keeping track of. (ie: calories, fat and protein might be a total of 15-60 button pushes) I would not be able to "track" my calories in my office because people would probably ask what that beeping noise is. Also, in order to see the digital screen you have to be looking straight on.

All in all, I would recommend this product to people who don't want to write it down on paper or have to be by a computer . . . I would say it's worth the value (<$15). I would recommend buying a book with nutritional data or have a computer handy because you have to know the calories to be able to "track" them.

I needed to cut calories, but was not interested in planning everything I wanted to eat. With this easily affordable device I just set the amount of calories I want to eat and then subtract the amount from the total as I go. It is very easy to set and even easier to track the calories throughtout the day. Other features are great in that you can track fat grams, carbs, and a custom setting to track whatever else you need. It is small and easy to carry in a pocket or pocketbook. It has helped me to lose the healthy pound a week since I started using it.

1.0 out of 5 stars nope, doesn't work, but YOU CAN RETURN it, December 24, 2011

So, from the reviews it looked like 50% of these don't work. Playing the odds, I'm still thinking of ordering another one to replace the first one that arrived non-functional. The thing did nothing when I put the batteries in. (It turned out that the batteries were weak but not dead.)

Note that if you try to do the automatic return thing online, IT WON'T LET YOU. You've got to contact customer service. Amazon said (via Chat) that they would reimburse me the cost of buying new batteries to see if that helped. So I tried brand new batteries, and the thing made some pathetic beeps and groans (like a sad R2D2), but still got nothing on the screen.

Looking back at the reviews, I'm now realizing that these things worked in 2008 but not since... So, I think I might give up on it. However, I've found nothing else online that does what this does.

I'm now going to contact customer service again, and see how much trouble I have returning this one. They absolutely said that I can return it.
