I bought this about 3.5 years ago for my husband and he's been using it ever since. It was the first vacuum pump he had ever tried with his wine bottles so we really didn't think much of it. It did what it was supposed to do and you can feel it working with each pump getting gradually harder as the air into bottle runs out. When it is completely vacuumed the pump makes a clicking noise to indicate that you are done. Easy-Peasy.

As is normally the case in life - the Netgear Orbi RBK50 has its positives and negatives. Not to give to lengthy of a review I will try to highlight the positive/negative points below as I perceive them to be as well as the results of my before/after speed test(s);

When I received the containers, the top section that holds the salt substance was pushed down almost sideways in the container. I emailed the manufacturer to see if I could cut the seal on top and try to lift the top section back up, and they said it should work just fine even if the top seal is broken. They said they ship these containers upside down in order to prevent this. Apparently Amazon didn't get that memo. Either way, I have one in my bedroom and one in my storage unit. They are working at keeping the humidity level lower than normal, not drastically, but I can see the moisture it is absorbing. It is not helping with the musty smell in my storage unit though. I think I'll try the one with charcoal next to see if that helps.

I received this product heavily discounted. For ladies or gentlemen who are unfamiliar with how Retinol works, let me explain. Retinoids work by prompting surface skin cells to turn over and die rapidly, making way for new cell growth underneath. They hamper the breakdown of collagen and thicken the deeper layer of skin where wrinkles get their start. There is a myth that it thins the skin and this is simply not true. I have noticed that my skin looks glowing and fresh. I have chronically dry skin and it has a tendency to look dull, this product solves that problem for me. A word of caution though, be very careful in sunlight. The new skin that is being exposed is more susceptible to burn and sun damage. So wear sunscreen or a hat when using this product and being exposed to the sun.
