6:02 am
fireplace-- the fireplace that can slash your heating bills. this is the only fireplace with a mantle that's handcrafted by the amish and delivered fully assembled to your door. >> these fireplaces feature handcrafted, beautiful, real-wood mantles, so you get the ambience of a real fire with the convenience of a fireplace that you can actually move from room to room. >> and the best part is, you can save a ton of money on your heating bills. >> to use the heat surge, dramatically, dramatically has reduced our heating bill. we moved it upstairs into our bedroom, which is basically the coldest room of our house, and since then i've shut our heating vents down to our bedroom. we don't use them. we use the heat surge. >> we have this heat surge on, i would say sometimes 20 hours a day. if you keep your thermostat at 72 or 68, you could lower it now to 66 or 64 because the heat surge gives so much heat that it heats not one room, not only two rooms, but probably a whole level in your house. it's a no-brainer. >> the oil prices have gone up so drastically, and i'm trying
6:03 am
to keep the house a little cooler, and with the heat surge, it brings the temperature right to where it needs to be. >> each of our fireplace mantles is handcrafted by the amish right here in the heartland of america. >> you know, i think it is so fascinating how an entire community of families just comes together to build these beautiful mantles. >> and i had the chance to visit with one of these communities. [♪...] we're fortunate to have the chance to talk with the actual amish master craftsman who helped create and build the beautiful mantles. so, aaron, how does this differ from other fireplace mantles? >> the other fireplaces that you see out there are typically made out of pressed wood-- inferior type composites. this is a solid piece here on top that you see-- solid carvings, trims, and it's locally made, handcrafted, hand-rubbed finish and stain-- that is built with pride in our local community. >> you have a lot of amish people coming together, then, to help with this? >> we have numerous shops in the area. a lot of the community people are involved in this, building the fireplace.
6:04 am
today we are producing each one built by hand by the amish in our local community with personal satisfaction and pride that goes with it, and we ship directly out of our facility, delivered to the customer's door. we take a pride and satisfaction in producing a quality product that will last a customer a lifetime, and also take pride in that this is going across the nation, across the u.s. what we build in our local shops, people from west to the east coast have them in their homes. >> one young family had a pretty tough time last winter when their furnace started acting up. the heat surge really helped them stay warm and cozy without breaking the bank. >> one night last year, we lost the heating upstairs. >> our furnace went out, and it was a very cold night. >> it was so cold when we came upstairs. there was no way we could have slept up here, let alone the kids. >> i was very worried that our kids were going to be cold. >> we tried to call a repairman, but we couldn't get anybody out at that time. it was so late, it didn't matter. we brought the heat surge down the hallway, and stuck it in between my two children's
6:05 am
bedrooms. plugged it in, used the remote, turned it on, turned it to high. that was it, let it run. left it on for maybe an hour, hour and a half. it brought the heat upstairs to 81 degrees. it was unbelievable. >> it heated up both their bedrooms, it heated up the hallway, and also our bedroom, so we had a nice warm night. >> the kids were comfortable. if we didn't have the heat surge that night, i don't know what we would have done. the heat surge saved us that night. one of the things i like best about the heat surge is that it's so portable, you can take it from room to room. we take it to the living room often, and we have game night. it fits in so well with our furniture that we have down there, and the kids love it. we sit around it. they're warm, they love the flame, and we play games all night long. >> as a mom, i really like that there's no sparks, it's safe to touch, and it looks so real. >> families across america love the beauty of the heat surge fireplace, and they love that they can enjoy the benefits without the installation cost and maintenance of a brick fireplace. >> we live in a contemporary
6:06 am
house, and the architect used a lot of glass in this house. basically, we like to say it's the glass house. i thought that heat might be a problem living in a house like this. we do have a fireplace in the house, and basically, the fireplace just takes the heat and sends it right up the chimney, so i was burning the fireplace, and my bills were extremely high, so when i saw this heat surge, the first thing that came to mind was, hey, you know what, it could help us reduce the bills, the heating and energy bills. so i stopped using the fireplace, and i got the heat surge, and the heat surge basically compensates for the fireplace. it takes the place of the fireplace. when the heat surge was first delivered, i was excited. it was my purchase, so i opened the box... [woman chuckles] ...and i was expecting to assemble this thing. it came out in one piece. i put it on the floor. i plugged it in, and there was this nice flame. i was like, wow, that is cool! >> i saw it, and i was like, "whoa, is that real fire?" [laughter] >> i think it's a pretty
6:07 am
cool fireplace. i hog it up. i'm, i'm the person who hogs up the fireplace. >> my dad, he brings down the heat surge, and then we stay nice and warm while watching movies and playing. >> well, in the morning, our heat's on timer. the morning, the heat used to come up automatically every single morning, but now, since we've had the heat surge, it's cut down on that. we don't have the heat come up in the morning at all any longer. >> misha wakes up at 6:00 every day to go to school, so we just roll the heat surge towards the kitchen. when misha comes downstairs to eat breakfast, she's nice and toasty and warm from the heat surge. >> what i like best about the heat surge is that it warms my family. >> look, every family loves a fireplace, and now every family can have one or even two. >> now, just imagine. no installation. just plug it in, turn down the thermostat, and start saving. >> and no live flames to worry about with kids and pets. just beautiful fireless flame technology the whole family will enjoy. >> when we come back, we'll visit with families all across america who tell us they've been

worn out, needs some fixing up, and probably not all that energy-efficient. but look at these clayton homes. they're brand-new with spotless, new, name-brand appliances and built to exceed stringent energy guidelines. but maybe you're thinking, "i can't buy a house right now." well, consider this. no matter what, each and every month you write that rent check, you're not buying anything. you're just making your landlord richer. >> when you're renting, i just feel like i'm throwing the money away. you rent for 20, 25 years, and you don't have anything. >> previously to owning our clayton home, we rented. >> it's just been an easy and exciting thing to own your own home. >> everybody loves our house. they all just can't believe it. they walk in and say, "it's so big," and they all just... it feels like a home. >> woman: home fact: a new clayton energy star home is more efficient than a standard home and can save up to 30% in energy costs. >> owning a clayton home means
6:35 am
you'll be paying less for heating and cooling costs, and that means you'll be able to keep your home warm and cozy in the winter and cool and comfortable in the summer without astronomical electric bills. the energy savings can add up. the tax advantages work in your favor. plus, you'll own your own home-- a brand-new, entirely affordable, never-been-lived-in-before place of your very own. >> moving in was... like christmas for 20 years. [laughs] >> i love it. we love our new home. >> the kids love it. it's bigger, so they can run down the halls, and they all, you know, have bigger rooms. >> it's nice to have our own space, and we've just... we've loved every minute of it. we haven't had any problem. >> it's saved us enormously on utility bills. >> it's insulated so well. >> insulated so well. >> we're saving about $200 a month over what we were in a smaller place. >> so i got more house for less money. >> the amount that we paid for it, all the amenities, all the financing packages-- all
6:36 am
together, we got a great deal. >> so how do you get a bigger, better-built home than you expected with more features, more amenities, but at a lower cost than you imagined possible? well, it starts by choosing the right home-builder: clayton. clayton homes is the nation's housing leader, and we've been helping people become homeowners since 1934. 1.5 million homes all across america. and while times have changed, along with building techniques, one thing hasn't changed-- the way we treat our customers. because at the end of the day, it's not about selling houses. it's about helping you attain that special place you can call home. >> the team at clayton homes really took care of us. >> it's not like somebody builds a house and leaves you and you never see them again. >> yeah, they don't forget you. >> we've been there a little less than a year, and they still call me once a month making sure everything's o.k., making sure i'm happy. >> you just can't ask more than the kind of service we've gotten from clayton. [♪...]
6:37 am
>> but just how is it we can put so much quality and features into the homes we build and still deliver such a remarkable value? well, one way is through volume. [♪...] >> a big advantage to what clayton homes brings is getting more affordability and more for your money. i mean, it's all about value. we buy similar materials at all of our facilities around the country, so we get volume pricing, we get better quality materials, and we pass along all of our savings to the consumer, so they're paying less for their home. every piece of our home is built in precision jigs and fixtures so that there's consistency, there's quality, there's tightness in the construction. we only use materials cut to size from our suppliers. it's good for the environment because we only throw away about two percent of the materials that we purchase, compared to a site builder, who can waste up to as much as 40% of the materials they buy. to see the excitement on a consumer's face when they get one of our homes and know the value they're getting and know the quality they're getting,
6:38 am
it's like nothing else. >> now, some people might insist that the only way to go is to build a home on-site, but think about it. you wouldn't build a car on-site, outside, exposed to the elements, would you? it's not really that different with a house, especially if building it inside saves you money-- 30 to 40% less than the cost of a typical site-built home. that means instead of spending $100,000 for a home like this, you'll spend 60,000 or less. clayton homes range from 30 to $70 a square foot. they're built from the same materials as other homes, except they're constructed inside a climate-controlled environment with 2x4 and 2x6 exterior wall construction, superior insulation in the floors, ceilings and walls, and quality assurance every step of the way. how well-built are clayton homes? ask the folks who own one. >> clayton has got some good stuff, i'm here to tell you. >> they build with the same materials and sometimes superior
6:39 am
materials than a stick-built house. >> i think these are better, really, than, you know... it's a whole change in the building, the way they build houses nowadays. >> chris: it's the same 2x4s, it's the same o.s.b., it's the same everything. they're just built indoors, out of the elements, rather than... my first custom home i had made, they got it framed up without the roof, and it rained for a month, and they had to go and pump the basement out that had eight foot of water in it before they could go any farther, and these homes never see any elements. >> here's another huge savings to the way we build homes-- time. because the construction process is controlled, there are no weather delays, no damaged materials to replace, and no lost productivity. a clayton home can be built in as little as six weeks. compare that to the typical nine to 12 months or more of other home construction. with a clayton home, time's finally on your side, and as you've seen, the way clayton builds homes is different,
6:40 am
and so is the way you buy them. instead of having to drive all over the place looking at homes you may or may not like, you simply come in to an authorized home center, where you can visit the homes on display, and then choose a home or floor plan that you like. there are hundreds of floor plans, so you can be sure you'll find a home that's perfect for your family. you can also choose from two-story or duplex floor plans. you can choose what upgrades and customized features you want. make adjustments to floor plans if you like. it's that easy. we take care of everything for you. if you don't have land, we'll help you find it. we can help you find a lender to provide financing for your new home. our folks are there to help you each and every step of the way. >> they get to come in and totally design the layout. they could move walls. they could add fireplaces. they could upgrade to stainless steel appliances. if they can imagine it, we can do it. >> we were completely amazed. everything was exactly the way we wanted it. >> it was very pleasant. we were really happy with,
6:41 am
with the whole process. >> we got the home that we wanted for the price that we wanted. >> that's my mission. it's just to listen, see what wants and needs are, and help them get to that point. >> you know, the best part about clayton homes is that we're a fully integrated company. >> we handle everything for the customers. we don't just hand out the application to the customer and say, "here, go, go fill it out and bring it back." >> we understand property. we understand development. we understand financing. >> he explained everything so well on what to expect, when to expect it, and basically came through on every promise that he made. >> the way they went through things, they were not pushy. >> they didn't come along and try to strong-arm us or try to steer us in any direction. >> and now they've become our best friends. >> now they're best friends, yeah. >> you do build a long-lasting relationship. >> the sale is not just you're sold and you're done. i mean, we're constantly calling them, following up with them, making sure they're happy, is there anything we can do for them. >> and our number-one goal is just to make their dreams come true.

[thunder booming...] >> if i build a 2x4 wall outside, how is that any better than building a 2x4 wall inside? it isn't. actually, building it indoors keeps it out of the rain. it prevents mold growth and warping. and if i build a roof using 20-year warranty shingles, how is it any better if i do this outside, exposed to the elements? again, it isn't. and it costs more to build a home outdoors, because there aren't the efficiencies of building it inside. plus, when you build so many homes, like clayton does, you get huge savings buying materials in volume. now, you combine that with precision climate-controlled construction, and you end up with a superior housing value.
6:52 am
you know, it's just plain smart to take a serious look at buying a clayton home. >> using the same materials that a site-built home would use, there's no reason why a factory-built home would be any less quality, and in fact, it could be an improved quality based on being able to work in controlled environments and having the planning and coordination in place. the future is not so much in site-built work, but in minimizing that to the greatest degree possible to improve quality, to decrease waste, and to just create a better product. >> clayton homes are built with better materials than most other homes. they have superior insulation in the ceilings, floors, and walls, and can be energy star certified for little or no extra cost. we make sure, through constant quality control, that it's the tightest, best-built home for the money. >> we looked at some site-built homes, and the site-built homes were substantially higher. they were about twice the price of what we paid for our home. >> and that's what caught us.
6:53 am
we're like, "we can spend half to two-thirds what we're gonna spend and get everything we want." >> we got all the features we wanted. >> we were really getting a good house for the dollar that we spent. >> more home for the money. >> imagine your family living in a beautiful new clayton home. it begins by finding the right floor plan. we have hundreds, from two-bedroom plans that can be precision built for under $50,000 to stunning three-, four-, even five-bedroom plans with nine-foot ceilings, wide-open living spaces, and luxurious master suites. >> clayton had the home and the floor plan that we wanted. >> we decided on just a one-level house, and it has the dream kitchen, the nice countertops, and the stainless appliances. >> we could pretty much dictate our own floor plan, the things that pleased us, and still stay within the budget that we had to live with. >> we now have a living room and a family room, where before we did only have one.

7:00 am
a paid advertisement for the contour core sculpting system. that strong, lean waist and rock-hard abs aren't something they were born with... they had to work hard to get them, doing hundreds of grueling crunches or sit-ups. but that doesn't mean you have to. now there's a whole new way to get your abs firm, tightened, toned and sexy, a totally new approach to muscle sculpting that brings together modern digital technology and the science of physiology to reveal the secret to total core muscle contraction without ever doing a crunch or sit-up. >> it's crazy. >> woman: is it what you expected?
7:01 am
>> it feels like i'm doing a crunch or something. >> wow... o.k., that... it's just tightening up my abs, the lower part of my abs, i'm feeling it. >> i'm not doing anything. i'm standing here talking to you and my abs are getting a workout. >> i'm feeling the, the burn. >> seriously? >> yeah, seriously. i can feel that. >> woman: what's it doing? >> it's contracting the muscles. look at this-- wow! >> can you see the muscle ripple and change? >> whoa... whoa. >> look at this... look at that, both sides. >> wow... it speaks for itself. >> do you get that when you do normal abs? >> not at all. i've never seen that before. >> do you like it? >> i love it. this is the real deal. >> announcer: it's called the contour core sculpting system, guaranteed to give you the best abs you'll ever have. contour was created by swiss medical professionals and engineered to their exact standards. this technology has already created the incredible bodies you see on beaches across europe, from the coast of spain to the french riviera to the sun-spots islands of greece. now this new era in fitness has come to america. the contour is like no core exercise you've ever tried. it sets off a series of abdominal contractions that
7:02 am
engage more muscle fibers and that's the real secret to incredible abs. and with thermographic imaging, we'll show you why contour is easier and better than doing old-fashioned crunches. >> research that was done on contour actually showed that contour worked the muscles 600% more than doing the traditional crunches. >> every fitness magazine for men you see on the newspaper stand, uh, has abs. um, at 57 years old, i started thinking, geez, would it be possible to have abs as good as those people? and now i believe i do. my waist at 31 inches looks better than it did when i was 25 years old. this is absolutely the first product i've ever seen in my life that allows you to put it on, sit there, watch television and get a workout. it's phenomenal. >> announcer: contour, a fitness phenomenon, is fda cleared to give you the lean, flat, rock-hard abs you've always wanted. >> i'm blown away by what i've accomplished. i've never, ever been in this kind of shape. i have never felt this good about my body.
7:03 am
>> the easiest part about it is you can just do it at any hours of the day. i do it when i'm at work. it's the easiest thing i've done but i actually feel tight. >> man: the contraction you get from it is 10 times more than a crunch. it's just... ugh, you can feel it. i've already had to buy new pants and new shorts and, and everything. i mean, i've lost probably four to six inches in my waist in just a short period of time of doing it. it's great. >> announcer: the contour core sculpting system is so effective, you'll lose three inches off your midsection in just two weeks, guaranteed. imagine a leaner, firmer, stronger waistline and sculpted abs without sweating, straining or even getting into workout clothes. sound too good to be true? well, leah garcia, mountain bike champion, professional cyclist, television personality and contour fitness expert, is about to show you just how easy it can be with the contour core sculpting system. [♪...] >> you know, i believe in the contour and i've been using this technology for years. i'm living proof that it works.
7:04 am
i'm 42 years old. in fact, i haven't done a crunch or a sit-up routine since discovering it. you know, we live in an age where technology has helped us work smarter, not necessarily harder. now, that level of advanced digital technology comes to fitness, finally-- you know, it was only a matter of time-- with the contour core sculpting system. let me show you how easy it is to use to contour. i place the contour against my body, i turn it on, set the level of workout i want and the contour does the rest. when you look at my abs right now, you can see that the contour is engaging my upper abs. i'm gonna stop talking for a second so that you can visually see this... and there's the flex. that's the belt doing the work. i'm not making that happen. it's gonna hold for five seconds and then release, but what you don't see is how the contour also works my middle, my outer abs and this curve down at the bottom. well, this was specially designed for that pooch area that i know every woman watching is concerned about. look, there are a lot
7:05 am
of reasons why you don't do abdominal workouts. the biggest one, i'm guessing, is they're hard to do, right? you're probably not getting the results you're looking for. well, the contour blows that excuse away because it does the work, you get the results and what could be better than that? >> you just strap it on anytime. you can do it in the car, you can do it on the couch, you can do it while you're walking around, whatever you want. it's, it's great. >> there's a lot of different programs. it brings you through different sets of contractions and stuff and, and it does it for you. you really just relax. you don't need to do anything. >> look at that! you see that? my abs just kind of pulsate on their own-- look at that, look at that-- and then, boom! everything just starts to come together. oh, my god! everything's just coming in. i'm not even doing any... look, i'm talking normal and look how much it's contracting. >> [laughing]: o.k., you saw that? you saw that, right? i didn't do that. this belt did that. what it's doing now is contracting my abs for probably three to five seconds and right now, i'm feeling it working. >> so what happens when you wear the contour and how does
7:06 am
that compare to traditional ab exercises? here to show us is dr. evan katz. all right, what do you got for us? >> well, leah, what we're looking at here is a thermography scan of jeffrey's abdomen. blue is a little bit cooler, meaning not a whole lot of muscle activity or blood flow in the area. as the temperatures, uh, go up more towards red, meaning oranges and yellows and reds, it means there's more blood and more activities in the muscles. so what we're gonna do is we're gonna put the contour to the test compared to traditional ab exercises that people are doing at home. so, jeff, what i want you to do, if you don't mind, is go ahead and lay on your back and we're gonna have you do, let's say, 50 crunches which is more than what most people do but we want to get a lot of blood and, uh, activity into those abs and then put it up against the contour and see how much more effective the contour is. how many crunches do you normally do? >> about 100. >> dr. katz: about 100? o.k., so we're gonna get you up there and then we're gonna put the contour to the test and see how much more effective the contour is than doing this painful exercise. >> [groans] and when you think about the average person, that's pretty hard work. >> that's very hard work. >> oh, my god. >> now, we're gonna get jeff in front of the thermography
7:07 am
screen again. we can see his abdomen here is blue and it's a little bit orange and red at the top where we can tell the abs were exercised, they were worked. there's more blood in the area, but as we can clearly see, his lower ab... there's a lot of the problem areas are still cold and blue. there's no blood, no activity going into the area and, also, not a whole lot into the obliques onto the side. >> leah: well, then let's try contour. i'd like to see what happens. >> i definitely would love to see that. >> so jeff has been wearing the contour for a few minutes now, and i gotta say, it looks a lot easier than when he was down on the floor doing crunches. dr. katz, i can already see a difference. >> there is such a huge difference already. you can see all the oranges, reds, greens... very little blue, and we haven't even taken off the belt to see what's happened in the lower abs which did nothing when he was doing the traditional crunches. >> o.k., i, i gotta come over here and feel these for a second because i like the way that you can see it but the way the muscle is really taut right now-- that's just from immediately wearing it-- and you're not doing anything. >> nothing. >> just standing there. >> dr. katz: and not only do we see his abs contracting for him doing nothing but we also
7:08 am
don't see his low back getting into compromising position. >> leah: exactly. um, when do we get to take it off? >> i say we can take it off now. >> all right. >> jeff: all right. [♪...] >> o.k., well, as we can see here, it's easy to tell. it looks like his lower abs are on fire. >> leah: [laughing] i have to come over and get a better... wow! >> that is something that just cannot be faked. uh, that is something that just shows there is more blood flow, more metabolism and the muscles actually got worked as opposed to when he was doing those very uncomfortable crunches. and in fact, research that was done on contour actually showed that contour worked the muscles 600% more than doing the traditional crunches which jeff did before. >> i've been using the contour for some time and the first question i get from everyone is, "will it really work for me?" the answer is, yes, it will. just look at these un-retouched photos and all of these people got these incredible results with the contour core sculpting system. >> my goal was to get back into a 5/6 'cause i've been a 7/8 for over 10 years now and really wanted to get back into the 5/6 and here i am,
7:09 am
wearing a 3/4 today. i've lost 11 inches off my midsection. i couldn't believe it. i haven't worn these pants in so long. it really works. it's the first thing that's really worked for me. >> i'm definitely seeing results. i'm losing the stomach, i'm firming up and i can do it without pain. i can do it anywhere-- in my car, at home. just have the ab belt on and with the whole system, you're definitely gonna get results. [♪...] >> when it comes to new technology, most of us wait a while before we give it a try. but why would you wait to try the contour? who doesn't want a leaner, firmer, sexier core and who really wants to do exercises to get it? [scoffs]: i know i don't. so stay tuned for a very special introductory offer for the contour core sculpting system. when we come back, i'm taking contour to the street to show you what happens when people just like you experience it for the very first time. i love this part. this is gonna be fun. stick around. >> announcer: the fitness phenomenon that has created sculpted waistlines and

7:14 am
i'm gonna continue to use the belt and continue to look and feel good. >> mark: the belt really works. the belt definitely works and the results prove it. people do not have time to go stay in the gym and work out so you can do this at home. you can go to the gym, work out for a half an hour and still go home and, you know, have this on for a good 30 minutes too and there's your hour. it's something that everybody should get out there and get and i'm glad i have one. >> the contour is like no abdominal exercise you've ever tried. why? because it sets off a series of abdominal contractions that engage more muscle fibers than crunches alone. in fact, it's like doing six different core exercises at the same time-- a standard crunch for your upper abs, elbow-to-knee crunches for your right and left obliques, trunk twists for your love handles, leg raises for your lower abs and pooch area and hyperextensions for strengthening and firming your lower back muscles. it's like doing six exercises with the push of a single little button. it's your choice. you can do all of that or

you can just wear the contour. look-- my whole core is working: upper, middle, outer, lower abs. it's even got this pad for the lower back. i mean, we have thought of everything. these abdominal contractions give me a full 360-degree total core workout, and for all the women watching, please notice how the design of the contour drops down to also work that dreaded pooch area that we all hate. and, i'm getting that incredible workout while i'm standing here talking to you and all i did was put on the contour and push a button. >> i feel working your upper abs has always been the easiest because you just do a crunch, it works your upper abs. and having to work your lower abs, you always have to bring your legs up and do a reverse and it's always harder. so now, i can just put the belt on and it does, it targets my lower area. they're getting stronger, they're getting more formed. i'm able to see the six-pack now that i've always wanted and
7:16 am
i don't have to do anything. >> woman: the contour belt is specifically really focusing on helping me with my lower abs where i've had many problems in just getting rid of a lot of the pudge and flab that used to be there and flattening it out. >> any free time, i put it on and it works really, really well on my abs, unbelievably. and it's fast as well. it's only 30 minutes. it's nothing and you have really good workout. >> i just use it for 30, maybe to an hour a day and, and you get results. i see results. >> there's just no comparison. the contour is more efficient and more effective than the crunch. the reason is superior muscle contraction. that's the real secret to incredible abs. that's why you're gonna get the firm, strong, toned waist you've been wanting. sound too good to be true? the best way to prove to you what the contour can do is to show you how people react when they experience it for

7:33 am
the biggest problem for most people is that working out is either too hard or just plain boring. so what happens? you give up. but guess what? with the ab circle pro, you will never have that excuse anymore. all you have to do is hop onto your ab circle pro and get your cardio and abs workout all at once. it's like a treadmill for your abs, and best of all, it only takes three minutes a day and it's a blast to do. just riding around on the ab circle pro, you'll melt inches and pounds off faster than you could ever imagine. >> as a personal trainer and a gym owner, i highly recommend the ab circle pro. my clients were able to lose weight, lose inches, strengthen the core of the body in a short period of time. and most of all, they had fun doing it. >> i think it works well and so fast because it works the hips, it works the waist. you can feel the movements. you just see the pounds shed off. >> such a simple piece of equipment to use, and yet it's dramatically changed my body.
7:34 am
the inches have melted away and, and i feel great, so i'm very thankful. >> what makes the ab circle pro get faster results than anything else around? the fact that it goes around. look, the secret is the ab circle pro's unique circular motion that uses gravity to help you swing your torso along the friction-free track. this engages your entire core. there's no linear jerking up and down movement like a typical ab machine. instead of having gravity working against you, now it's working with you. your whole lower body is going for a ride and it's firing your entire core. there's no strain or pressure on your back and neck. it's impact-free. and because you're engaging your entire core, just three minutes on the ab circle pro is equivalent to doing more than 100 sit-ups. you'll never get on the ground again. >> as a chiropractor for eight years, i would definitely recommend the ab circle pro, because it takes all the pressure off your neck and your low back, and it allows your
7:35 am
body just to work your abdominal muscles and your core muscles. that's why you get results so fast. >> the nice thing about the machine is it works out a part of your body that most of us, me with age, it just absolutely i could never work off before. the part that is, you know, the most... the heavy, the thickness, now i try on clothes and they all look good. i mean, they really look good, and so i look in the mirror and it's like... i feel wonderful. it doesn't even matter what i wear anymore. >> compared to regular crunches, which just pinpoint your abdominal muscles in the middle, the ab circle pro actually gets the whole midsection, including your obliques and your abs, upper and lower. with the ab circle pro system, in two weeks, i've lost 12 pounds, so you can't beat it. >> i like the design of the ab circle pro because i like the, the motion from side to side rather than always pulling myself up to do a crunch or a sit-up. it seemed a lot easier... and a lot more fun. >> it's so easy, there's no learning curve. you just lower your body into the comfortable memory foam
7:36 am

8:02 am
dream or a fantasy. but with today's advanced facial procedures at lifestyle lift, those dreams are about to come true for thousands of people just like you. "impossible," you might think. watch closely as you see the real-life stories from men and women across the country as they turn back time. >> i think it's quite obvious about the results of my lifestyle lift. look at my neck. where are my jowls? it is the most amazing experience of my entire life. i feel great. i'm 70 years old, i feel that i look about 50 years old. this is absolutely unbelievable. i took my daughter to the bank a week after i had the lifestyle lift and i took out my license and the teller said, "just a moment, please," and called over two more tellers. i almost could not take money out of the bank, they couldn't get over it, and finally i said,
8:03 am
"i had a lifestyle lift." i was a little skeptical at first because i work in the cosmetic industry, for many, many years, and i see women come in and they've had face-lifts and they've ended up with pointy chins and pulled-up sides, and i was so frightened, but i am so happy, i just cannot believe it's true. i love the way i look. i feel great. >> what i'm hoping for is for the skin to be just tightened up in this area, you know, just to look firmer and just a better profile in general, because i just don't like when i turn to the side, especially, i just feel like it's just not as, as distinct as it used to be. and i'd see a picture of myself or i'd walk by a mirror, i would actually stop-- especially if the mirror was on the side-- and just take a double glance and just couldn't believe the change in just a few years, you know, and i was unaware how it just kind of crept up on me. ...when i saw the "before" pictures, i had no idea that it
8:04 am
was as bad as i thought. you know, you walk around every day and i was aware that i didn't like my profile and i hadn't liked it for a long time, but i can't believe that i had that kind of change. again, literally, it was just overnight. >> i did this lifestyle lift for myself, um, i've spent the last nine years taking care of my mom, and my mother passed away about a year ago and i decided it's time for me to start doing good things for myself, and i saw that i was starting to look a little droopy around the edges with my chin, and i heard about lifestyle lift and i got excited and went in and spoke to them and made the decision that this is something that i would like to do for myself. now that my neck is gone, i've had the procedure done, my friends tell me that i look younger to them. before, when a man would drive up next to me, he might see my blonde, long hair and i would see him starting to look at me, and as soon as he would see my profile i noticed that they would look away, and since i had this procedure done, i
8:05 am
will catch them looking at my blonde hair and they will pull up alongside of me and now they look at me and they give me a big smile, and it makes me feel good about myself. now i don't have to hide my profile or feel bad about my profile anymore. >> i spoke to my husband about this and he was in agreement. i asked him if he would come with me to the first meeting and he agreed with me that he would. he's a physician, he's really checking this out. the areas i want to fix, um, to be more taut are under my chin, my jowls, my neck. ...the whole experience was wonderful. afterward, i was out very soon, just a few days, and my friends couldn't see that i had anything done, they said, "you look refreshed and renewed." my philosophy in life is that you do the best you can do with what the good lord gave ya, and if you feel good inside you need to look good on the outside, and as time goes on, you don't look exactly like you feel. you feel good and you look in the mirror and you think, oh, my, what happened? so, now, i feel like the outside has evened with the inside. >> lifestyle lift has the
8:06 am
world's most experienced facial experts, with doctors specializing exclusively in this amazing procedure, nothing else. and financing is available to fit almost everyone's budget. stay tuned as we see why this incredible procedure is sweeping the country. ...when you look in the mirror, can you imagine erasing years of aging? >> i didn't know looking younger could be this easy. >> jackie: lifestyle lift takes only about an hour. see the difference immediately. >> this is the real deal. >> jackie: call now for a free information kit. lifestyle lift: a breakthrough medical procedure that helps remove wrinkles, frown lines and sagging skin. call now for a free information kit. consultations are free. >> i wish i had done this years ago. it really is unbelievable. >> jackie: call lifestyle lift today! ...prior to this decade, the only way to reverse sagging skin or wrinkles in the face and neck was to have a traditional procedure, which was painful, invasive... and expensive. taking weeks and sometimes months to recuperate, many people found the prolonged
8:07 am
recovery times, severe swelling. well, now there's something new... for a new generation. it's called the lifestyle lift, and it's performed by licensed physicians in lifestyle lift offices across the country. founder dr. david kent is determined to bring this new technology global, with many happy clients coming out to show the world just how effective and amazing this procedure has been. >> the lifestyle lift is so popular because the results are just so tremendous. it's safer, quicker, without the downtime of traditional procedures. prior to the lifestyle lift, most people really only had two choices. the first was to do nothing, and the second choice was to undergo a traditional procedure. as you know, traditional procedures, you had to go to sleep, you had risks involved, they were severe, extensive, long procedures, often requiring weeks and months to recover from. it makes me and my fellow physicians feel great about what we do, looking at these men and women that come through the office and the difference that we make in their life.
8:08 am
it's a positive, wonderful thing. >> i am so glad i had the lifestyle lift done, because i'm in a career search right now and appearance is so important. it's something that, uh... it's the first thing people look at-- they look at your face. and even when i looked at my face before, i had jowls and my neck looked awful and i didn't feel good about myself. so, now that i've had it done, i feel more confident, i feel that i can go out there and look for a job and that people will want to hire me because they'll see that confidence level and they'll... they won't have any idea how old i am, they'll think, "this is a very vibrant, energetic woman," and, uh, that she can do the job. i have the experience and now i have the look, so i'm very, very happy that i had the lifestyle lift done. >> if i could just really get rid of, uh, the neck... the hanging underneath my neck and some of the lines around my
8:09 am

8:22 am
unattractive, i think. ...i'm eloise and i'm 69 years old. i've just had the most amazing thing done for me and my face, the lifestyle lift. i went to a meeting and a friend, a male friend, a younger male friend who has known me for about 25 years, i had my hair pulled back and i had it in a ponytail and he kept looking at me and kept looking at me and after it was over he grabbed me, and he said, "eloise," he said, "you just look great today!" he said, "you're just," he said, "i guess it must be your ponytail," but he said, "you look like a hottie!" and i said, "i think i'm a little bit older than, than a hottie." he said, "no, i'm not kidding you," he said, "you look like a hottie." >> back in the 1970s, i did commercials and i did magazine ads and i did runway modeling, and they called me "the girl with the million-dollar face." 30 years later, i don't have my million-dollar face anymore. i work out every day at the gym,

8:24 am
of you today. i feel like i'm 35. i'm 60 years old. i feel incredible and i'm back again, i can compete with those people that are 40 and 45, all of that because of lifestyle lift. >> during the taping of this story, i was astonished at the transformations and results of each of the men and women we interviewed at lifestyle lift. the recipients of this breakthrough procedure were becoming younger right before my own eyes. not only did these people look better, but many felt it was a fresh, new start to their lives. somehow, their whole view on life was renewed. i must admit, the joy and happiness was overwhelming... and then it happened. one of the lifestyle lift doctors asked if i would like to change my life also. after careful consideration and seeing all these amazing results and all the people, before and after, it was an offer i just couldn't refuse. i felt confident because i was with the most experienced group of facial specialists, and to
8:25 am
me, the time was right. they do more of these procedures than anyone. and the signs of aging had started to show... i wanted to do something about it. so, for the viewing audience at home, watch as we show you how much older i looked before going through the process at lifestyle lift. ...i'm here in the tranquility room at lifestyle lift and this is where people come to relax before their procedure and get ready, and i'm really excited because i'm looking forward to having some things taken care of that had bothered me for decades-- my neck, because i've never, ever, ever had a tight jawline, i guess it might be heredity but i've always had a line that kind of goes through my chin down to my neck, and as i've gotten older it's just gotten worse, there's more stuff hanging here that, uh, is saggier and saggier, and it's depressing. and i just had an experience recently where someone... i walked into a room and i thought i gave her a normal look and she came up to me later and said, "are you upset with me? what's wrong? you looked mad or upset." you know, i really have a
8:26 am
problem with these frown lines right here, in fact, there are little indentations that i have noticed that are building down here and i'd really like to get that taken care of and have these little jowls that are starting, i would like to have those taken away as well. ...the best part about the procedure is you can see the difference immediately. minimal downtime, minimal bruising or swelling and incredible results. that's what has led thousands of people to have the lifestyle lift. today everyone's talking about change. but one thing that never changes is that we all want to look and feel good. it's time to embrace a change for yourself and a new beginning. lifestyle lift is the path to your new beginning. it's time to do something for yourself for a change. most of us have been doing things for other people our entire lives. now is the time to do something for yourself... a new job, a new relationship, a new outlook on life. what is that change going to be for you? now is your time. lifestyle lift is here to help.

8:33 am
and that's where the rug doctor mighty pro comes in. now, check out this carpet. this is obviously dirtier than any carpet you're gonna have in your own home. this is ground-in, oily dirt that's actually sticking to the carpet fibers. with just some hot water and a little of the rug doctor steam cleaner, you get what i call "one-swipe cleaning." let me show you what i mean. >> please do. >> now, all the cleaning is done on the backstroke. i'm gonna turn the machine on... [machine whirs...] now, watch this. >> [laughing]: oh, my gosh! >> look at that. >> oh... wow! >> look at all the dirt coming out of there. >> that's incredible! that's fabulous! [matt turns machine off] >> now, lise, when i say "one-swipe cleaning," that's exactly what i mean. >> that carpet looks brand-new. >> now, here's what really great about the rug doctor mighty pro: its ability to clean what you can't see. >> oh... what do you mean? >> well, carpets are a great enhancement to your home. but you know how they can get pretty dirty from all that stuff that's tracked in from outside. plus your carpet acts like a giant air filter, catching
8:34 am
all the dirt, the dust and pollutants that float down from the air. embedded deep in your carpet can be bacteria, mold, allergens like pet dander, and even living dust mites. >> you know what, that's bad for me, because i have allergies. did you say living dust mites in my carpet? >> yes, i did. your family, your children, are literally playing and living on top of all of that. >> so, what about vacuuming? >> lise, vacuuming is fine for picking up the visible dirt on the surface of your carpet, but it can't remove the oily soils or the dirt trapped deep within the carpet fibers, where you can't see it. that's why, even if you think your carpets are clean, you need to try the rug doctor mighty pro in your home. the difference between clean in appearance and deep-down rug doctor clean is pretty remarkable. with the rug doctor mighty pro, your carpets will be beautiful, you'll extend their life and create a clean and healthy environment for you and your family. >> o.k., speaking of my family, what about stains? >> for spot cleaning, there is nothing better than the rug doctor mighty pro. let me show you what i'm talking about. here's something i'm sure your kids have spilled a time or two. >> oh! >> this is fruit juice. >> yeah, that's bad news. >> o.k.... looks lovely,
8:35 am
doesn't it? >> that's why i don't have white carpets, right there. >> now, here is my personal favorite: my morning coffee. now, we all know what a nasty stain this can be. >> but you can't blame that on kids. >> no, you can't. >> yeah, i have a few of those. >> right, and here's... >> that looks horrible. >> here's a really nasty stain-- chocolate syrup. now, just to make sure that it's in there good and deep, when i'm through, i'm gonna grind it in with my foot. >> oh, no, no, no... please, let me. matt... >> go right ahead... >> do you have kids? 'cause this is what they do. and then-- then-- they leave you little tracks. >> hey, i've got kids like that too! >> [laughing]: excellent. >> so, how would you... how would you clean these? >> oh, well, i would panic and scream, and then i would run to my sink and grab some kind of spray-on or rub-in product, and i would try to, you know, clean it by hand. then, at my house, stains just have this magical reappearing thing that happens. >> well, that will never happen with the rug doctor mighty pro cleaning system, because once the stains are out, they're gone permanently. here we go... >> all right. [machine whirs...] >> now, watch this.
8:36 am
first, say good-bye to our juice stain. >> aah! it's gone! >> now say good-bye to our coffee stain. >> no way! >> and of course, the ground-in chocolate stain now... so let's see how we do on this. >> oh... my... gosh! >> and you know what? those stains will never come back, and here's why: in order to clean properly, you need to do three things. you need to inject, you need to agitate and you need to extract. >> o.k., i don't know what that is. >> well, let me explain, o.k.? >> o.k. >> that's the secret to why the rug doctor mighty pro cleans so well. first, the mighty pro injects the hot water and rug doctor cleaning solution into the carpet. next, you have to agitate the cleaning solution to break up the dirt in the carpet fiber and suspend it, just like what happens in a washing machine. but in our case, the rug doctor uses a unique vibrating brush system. the back-and-forth motion cleans all sides of the fiber, gently breaking up the soil and the grime and actually fluffing and refreshing the individual fibers. and finally, you need to lift or extract the dirty cleaning
8:37 am
solution with the suspended stain material out of the carpet, so it's gone for good. using the mighty pro with the rug doctor steam cleaner means no soapy or sticky residue is left behind. your carpets will actually dry faster and stay cleaner longer. rug doctor's been doing this for over 30 years. they've become a world leader in carpet care, so they really know everything you need to get out stains and keep your carpets looking great. in fact, in over 30,000 locations nationwide, they offer an entire line of commercial-quality cleaning products for every type of stain imaginable, so even old, set-in, or especially tough stains can be eliminated. everything from blood and ink to motor oil and paint-- you name it. >> hi, my name is harley dufek. i'm not a professional actor. i buy and flip houses for a living, and i use the rug doctor to save myself thousands of dollars each and every time i do it. this house has some pretty dirty carpets. let me show you what i mean. so here we are in the living room. now, this is real typical of a foreclosure house that i'll buy from my clients. take a look at this
8:38 am
fireplace here. real good job of cleaning the fireplace, but not so good about cleaning the carpet in front of it. you see that there's some soot stains-- gross. take a look at this over here. this is a-- you can clearly see where they had some furniture setting, and they didn't move the furniture. dust and dirt, high-traffic areas collected around that. so right here is a forced air vent, and this is real typical, we'll see some soot and debris on the carpet here. let's go take a look at the dining room. o.k., so here we are in the dining room area. right in front of this doorway there had to have been a mat or something in place here, because you can kind of see the contrast between the light and the dark, and there's definitely some high traffic right here. over here we've got what looks like either a, either a juice or a wine stain that was spilled. over here looks to be probably a pet urine stain. well, normally i'd have to rip out all the carpet in this place but i really think the rug doctor can handle this, so what i'm gonna do with this is pre-treat all these stains with
8:39 am
different products from the rug doctor. we have the urine eliminator pre-treatment and then a spot & stain remover that we're gonna use on this one right here, and then hi-traffic pre-treatment on this stain. all right, that's all it takes. i'm gonna go get the rug doctor and extract all these stains. [machine whirring...] thing i love about the rug doctor is it cleans it in one pass and saves me a lot of time. all i do is just roll it right up to the edge of the wall and pull it back, and in one pass it gets out all these stains. now, this might be a really old stain, and it looks like it's coming right out. o.k., now we're up here by the door, getting right into the corners and pulling out this high-traffic pattern. o.k., here it goes. and now we're coming up to this wine stain. now i'm gonna go right through this wine stain and pull it
8:40 am
right up. here's all the pet stain, the wine stain and the high-traffic... right down the drain. now, if you remember, this is the same room where we had the high-traffic patterns. looks good as new. over here, where the red wine stain was, can't even tell it was there. over here, where the pet stain was, it looks beautiful, and what's best is that it smells great too. well, the house is finished. the carpet is clean, smells fresh. now, i just saved thousands in one day. cleaned the whole house easily with the rug doctor, and that's why i love it. >> here's how you can order your very own rug doctor mighty pro right now. >> hi, matt lattimore here. you know, i've worked with power tools and cleaning equipment for over 20 years, and if there's one thing i've learned, it's this: you work with the best tools, you get the best results. and with the mighty pro from rug doctor, you can feel the quality. it's built to last a lifetime. it's the same commercial-quality

[♪...] >> welcome back, everybody. we've now all seen how the rug doctor mighty pro literally pulls the dirt out of our
8:46 am
carpets, and how well it cleans all the different stains in our homes, so, matt, what are you gonna show us now? >> lise, now i would like to show you the true dominating vacuum power of the rug doctor. >> i think i've already seen the true dominating power of the rug doctor. what are you gonna do, lift a bowling ball or a refrigerator? >> no, no, lise, we're not gonna do any of that stuff. those are just gimmicks. >> ah. >> any vacuum can create a suction to move or suspend an object, but that doesn't mean it can lift out the dirt embedded deep into the carpet fibers. we are gonna put the competition to a real test of cleaning power. now, look what we have here. here are three name-brand carpet cleaning machines along with the rug doctor mighty pro. >> these other machines look nice. >> well, you know, they look pretty on the outside, but we're gonna see if they're up to the task. now, lise, the way the industry truly measures vacuum power is with a water lift tower, and that's what we have right here. >> this all looks very scientific. >> lise, it is scientific. now, notice, there's a reservoir at the bottom, and we're gonna see how high each one of these machines can lift a column of water right up these towers. >> fantastic. >> we put some blue dye in the water to make sure it's easier for you and the folks at home to see this demonstration.
8:47 am
are you ready? >> i am ready. >> here we go. [machines whirring...] on. there they go. look at-- lise, look at this. go ahead and mark that one, lise. yeah. and this one's... [laughs] look at this. >> ah! >> still going strong! look at that. wow! >> ooh! >> let's turn these machines off. >> wow! the rug doctor is way higher than those other machines. >> and way higher means a lot more power. >> nice. hey, matt, it has to be hard to lift a column of water, right? >> lise, water weighs over eight pounds per gallon, so it
8:48 am
takes a lot of suction power for the rug doctor mighty pro to lift a column of water all the way up there. >> and it blew the competition away. you cannot argue with that, can you? >> no, you cannot argue with that. we have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that the rug doctor has far more power than those other name brands. now, lise, what do you think more vacuum power really means? >> i think it means cleaner carpets in my home. >> exactly. well, that's what this whole thing is all about: cleaner carpets. more power means a deeper clean, and the more liquid you can remove from your carpets, the faster they're gonna dry. think of that. >> you know what? that's actually a really big deal because i've had to leave my home for hours waiting for my carpets to dry. >> you and a lot of other people and those days are over forever. >> yes! >> now, lise, i'm gonna show you another demonstration you truly are not gonna believe. you're gonna love this. come on over here. >> [chuckling]: o.k. >> o.k., lise, let's take the rug doctor and these same three name-brand carpet cleaning machines and do a serious side-by-side comparison test, doing what they all claim to do best, which of course is clean carpets. >> great idea. >> o.k., i've got some help from my friends here so we can compare all of these machines at the same time. are you ready? >> i'm ready.
8:49 am
>> you guys ready? >> yeah. >> let's go for it, guys. [machines whirring...] >> lise: whoo! >> matt: all right. there we go... i see a big difference already, lise. >> this is amazing! >> there you go. >> that is doing nothing. >> look at that. >> that one is not clean. >> not at all. >> and that one's better, but comparatively, it's nothing. >> major difference, lise, major difference. look at that. >> that looks fantastic. >> isn't that great? >> yes. [machines stop] >> all right. now, lise, what you have just seen is rug doctor's powerful "one-swipe cleaning," and of course the competition after one pass, that's all they could do. >> no, it's embarrassing. i would be so disappointed if i took home any one of those machines. >> well, lise, here's another major disappointment. for cleaning carpets, the manufacturer's directions for each one of these machines say the same thing: you need to do four passes or more to get your carpets clean, so, in other words, back and forth, back and forth. we're gonna see if even with four passes, these guys can get this carpet as clean as one pass with the rug doctor mighty pro. you guys ready? >> yep.
8:50 am
>> o.k., get in position, guys. >> this is fun. >> all right... [machines whirring...] let's go for it. >> so they have to go up and back... >> well, they're gonna do four passes... >> twice. >> yes, exactly. >> and you're just doing your first single pass. >> i'm just doing one pass. >> and they're on their second, and that is not good at all. that's not clean. >> look at how clean this carpet is. >> this is fantastic. >> isn't that great? [shuts off rug doctor] >> this is the third... third time. >> now, lise, just look at the difference. >> and you're done. >> after one pass with the rug doctor, and this is their third pass with this... there's a huge difference. >> to me, these others look like they're just surface cleaning, they're not deep-cleaning, and i want my carpets deep-down clean. the choice is obvious. you know, i actually thought i liked these other machines and that they looked pretty good in the beginning, but it... they didn't get the job done. >> you're right, lise. >> wow, and the rug doctor to me looks kind of industrial. >> the rug doctor is an all-business, commercial-quality industrial-strength cleaning machine. now, what's beautiful about this, obviously, is the way it
8:51 am
cleans your carpets. >> yeah. >> tell you what i'm gonna do. i'm gonna go back over the competition with the rug doctor mighty pro to prove that we can clean what they couldn't. >> great idea. >> are you ready for this? >> i can't wait. >> you know, lise, the first thing i notice is the incredible power of this machine. between the vibrating brushes and the superior suction power, it gets this carpet spotless in one pass, look at this. >> this is absolutely beautiful. it looks gorgeous. >> isn't this great? >> it's really... matt, this is no contest. >> there is no contest. the rug doctor gets out all the dirt, the grit and the grime, and check this out-- it's doing it all in one single pass, and that's why we say "one-swipe cleaning." >> so it really is no contest. one swipe with the rug doctor mighty pro and you blow out the competition and really clean that filthy, filthy carpet. >> and that's exactly what you've just seen here today-- indisputable evidence that the rug doctor mighty pro is clearly the superior machine. in fact, the rug doctor is the only consumer carpet cleaning machine to win the prestigious carpet and rug institute seal of approval for superior cleaning.
8:52 am
that's the ability to deep-clean the dirt that you can't even see. >> the great thing about rug doctor is very simple. it really works. rug doctor has the most powerful vacuum in our industry. it has the unique vibrating brush. and then with the full line of rug doctor cleaning formulas, you have the same products we use in professional carpet cleaning. when you rent or when you buy the rug doctor, rug doctor makes you the professional. >> making sure your carpets look and feel their best is so important, but at rug doctor, they don't stop there, because for people with pets, stains and odors can be a huge problem. just ask dr. bernadine cruz. >> i really love animals. i have two cats, and i found that one of the biggest problems-- and i can attest to it-- that cats have are sometimes not using their litter box. we try to keep the accidents to a minimum. it happens. it feels so good to know that i can go in, use a product, takes care of the problem, doesn't damage the rug. the cats are happy, the rug
8:53 am
is happy, the husband's happy, i'm happy. i enjoy recommending rug doctor products to clients because, number one, i've used them myself, i know they work. clients have used it. they've gotten back to me and really have been very pleased with it. >> with the rug doctor mighty pro carpet care system, you are protecting the single largest investment inside your home. >> matt: try the mighty pro for 30 days and if you are not 100% totally satisfied for any reason, you simply return it for a complete refund. >> but i think the best reason for owning the rug doctor mighty pro carpet care system is that it really works and you'll never again be embarrassed when friends and family stop by. it's the right decision. call now. >> announcer: we interrupt this program to bring you a special factory direct offer from rug doctor. call and order now, use the rug doctor in your home for 30 days for only $29.95 plus shipping and handling. finally you can afford your very own commercial-grade rug doctor mighty pro. when you order, we'll include everything you need to deep-clean up to 1800
