I have twin toddlers, two large dogs, two cats, and a messy husband. We vacuum our tiled/wood laminate living spaces and area rugs about 4 times a week, sweeping the hard floors between vacuumings. So, yeah, I’m a pretty heavy user of vacuum cleaners – I demand a lot from my appliances! This model works well – picks up a lot from the rugs, does a good job of sucking up dust bunnies and cheerios from the hard floor without using the beater brush, and gets good suction across the whole cleaning head. Like some other reviewers, I didn’t expect so much power from a vacuum for less than $100. My one complaint is that the cleaning head is deep enough (front to back) and the unit is heavy enough that it’s not at all easy to use on stairs. In the end, I got what I paid for, though, because it only worked for about 8 months before it just … died. We tinkered with, inspected, cleaned, and kicked the thing to no avail. It just won’t turn on anymore! If I can get my husband to accept the fact that neither of us can fix this vacuum, I’ll probably buy a second one and hope it holds out a bit longer this time.

I recently purchased a WII because I thought I would get great value for my money and I was right! I love the interactive feature of this console! You really feel as if u are in the game! Gotta love it! And while buying online does come with the worry that something may not be working or maybe broken I could definitely say Amazon is a site that offers great products. I am happy that I made this purchase.

I am not a critic so all I will say is good movie and I can find nothing wrong with this video.
Bilitis NON USA FORMAT
I have excellent quality with usage. My only concern is that the cable is a bit thin, so there might be a chance of breaking or destroying the signal if you make a sharp corner in the cable. Don’t use it for travel, but if you just want to hook up your equipment and leave it be, it is perfect. Especially for the price.
NEW DELL 90 Watt
Having recently purchased an Acer One Netbook, I was horrified by the slow speed of the machine. This must be a throwback from the 1990s (’80’s?)! I complained to the company where I bought it and was told that the Windows 7 Starter was part of the problem, the other problem being lack of memory. They said if I bought Windows 7 Home Premium and a large SD, the card would act as virtual RAM and it would speed right up.
I received both products quickly and packaged well from Amazon, but I’m still wondering what Win7 upgrade is good for, and the Transcend 8 GB card absolutely refuses to work with my computer for anything other than storage. If all it’s good for is storage I’d rather use it in my camera, so that’s where it is. It does work fine there. I’m back to a 4GB SD card for the netbook, which doesn’t seem to speed it up at all. So that much $$ poorer, I guess I’ve learned a lesson – your computer goes at the speed it goes. Period. Don’t expect anything more.
Old Movies Music 3
I waited a while to give this review, because I was hesitant to slam a product. I wanted to like the 4 GB card, but I am afraid to use it other than a back-up.
I got a 4 GB transcend card a couple days before my trip to the Boundary Waters. I needed it quickly, so I paid for the 2 day shipping with the “frustration free packaging”
Right away when I put it in my camera I noticed something I thought not quite right. The counter on my Nikon gave an estimate of 538 pictures in fine Jpeg mode. My other 4 GB card, a Promaster, gives me an estimate of 555 pictures with the same setting as Jpeg fine.
I disregarded it thinking maybe different brands give different estimates.I also figured maybe the counter just gave this card a different reading and would get about the same as my other card.
After about 200 to 300 pictures saved on the card and suddenly while shooting a sunrise (with the setting at raw) my camera wouldn’t shoot. I got the dreaded error that my camera could not read my card and that the card may be damaged. I cried and panicked for a good hour or so, because these were photos taken from about two days on a trip and I wouldn’t be able to return to those spots. I feared the worst. Fortunately someone thought to put the card in her camera. It worked, but the thumbnails looked odd for a short time. Afterwards I put the card back in my camera and it works. I don’t know how long it will work and I question the reliability. I’m keeping mostly because the plastic case holds my 2GB Promaster card. Until I can get a card reader(in hopes that will read the card if it fails), I’m retiring the card and only using it when I am about to shoot experiments or something I don’t mind losing. I suspect some kind of defect, now that even after formatting, the counter is still lower than my other card.
Because of this,I am also worried about the “frustration free” packaging. I loved the concept, but I really hope I am not getting someone’s returned product.
Lectures on Complex Networks
I replaced a Palm Pilot that was a great device, but getting slower and reaching capacity. Too bad Palm did not keep their cutting edge status. The IPOD does almost everything I want. Storage is small for music, but I am using it mostly for databases, calendar, and contact info. Syncing with Windows is easy and the battery lasts a long time. Music is fine when I use it, but I would prefer to have a radio or just listen through my computer speaker. It works quite well with Windows. I use Linux and have to go to my Windows partition to save things. If they could make it work with Linux, it would be appreciated. A major grumble is that it seems to have a lifetime limit of 5 computers to which it can be Synced. I screw with computers often, trying new operating systems and stuff. I would love to try to get it to work with Linux, but do not want to waste a “Life” while trying to troubleshoot. For most non-geeks, this would not be a big deal. I do not know why Apple does this. It seems like they are trying to be more like Microsoft. Lighten up Apple. Learn to love the geeks. As for the lack of a camera, who cares? I do not like taking pictures. If you want to take a picture, get a camera.

This is awesome! I got it to replace an old 201. What a difference! Everything works super fast and I really like the training center and the ability to see my routes on Google Earth. Way cool, and totally worth the money!

Love it! So easy to use! The carpet dries quickly and so much dirt came out of the carpet!! Can’t wait to do all the carpets in the house.

I have tried many pedometers which never seemed to work properly. I complained to a person at the local YMCA, who asked me what I paid for them. It was usually around $5 at a discount store. He told me to get a good one, and suggested Amazon.com. I have been very satisfied with the Omron, It clips on my garments or just stays in my pocket, is very accurate in measuring my more than 10,000 steps daily.
