The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face, I Hunted You Down and Slammed You Against A Cop Car

Video Review: Helicor StressEraser

This one deserved no written review. It’s the Helicor StressEraser and it’s kind of dopey… essentially, it makes you breathe a lot. Very cool design, though. Otherwise, we’ve improved the lighting significantly and now the only issue is that YouTube reduces the frame rate to 2 per second, which is super. Product Page [StressEraser]
