I had used my brand new vacuum cleaner for about 15 minutes before the belt broke. Since I had company coming in less than an hour, I had to vacuum most of my house using the attachments–highly annoying (and tiring). A replacement belt was easy to find, cheap, and fairly easy to install, but really, shouldn’t an appliance just work without having to replace a vital part the first time it’s used? The belt on my previous vacuum cleaner lasted for over 10 years.

The vacuum cleaner does pick up well, and unlike other users after very limited experience I don’t have complaints about the attachments. It’s no noisier than my old vacuum cleaner or most others I’ve used.

With so many reviews at an average rating of 4+ stars, I was expecting slightly better than this vacuum. I was replacing an aging vacuum that really had no issues other than being something that belongs in a museum. First off, the vacuum feels cheap. When you snap the front cover into place, there is no strong, definitive ‘click.’ It just barely pops on. The bag that came in the vacuum seems not to fit correctly (too long.) In use, the vacuum takes two swipes, when my old vacuum only needed one. It’s top heavy which makes it difficult to maneuver. My biggest gripe is the hose. Absolutely useless. It’s way too short and stiff. You won’t be able to get the back half of your couch cushions, no exaggeration at all. Add to that, the fact that it is top heavy and it’s nearly impossible to use. I bought a Hoover brand extra long extension hose, and it’s not much better, due to the top heavy-ness of the vacuum. But the hose was about $25. All in all, if I’d bought locally and kept the box, this would have been returned. The cord is also too short. It’s also the LOUDEST vacuum I’ve ever encountered. The only plus is that it does have a wider path and rolls fairly easily forward. All in all, it’s an ‘acceptable’ vacuum, however, I’d really strongly recommend you keep looking. I guess at this price point, it’s kind of hard to gripe, however, I wanted to share some of my frustrations.
Joico NEW SKIN LUXE

Unit arrived in very good condition and on time. Manual is not as easy as could be… still haven’t figured out how to do splits. Upload of data is very impressive, though it has locked up once out of ten tries. PC software no longer displays heart rate, but the web app does. Heart rate monitor is difficult to make contact… had to replace battery. Sometimes it takes the heart rate monitor a while to start recording, and sometimes it skips a few minutes of recording during a course. Over all I do have much more info than I had with a pedometer, just wish the heart rate monitor was more dependable.

The Nintendo Wii does not disappoint. In addition to the super fun motion Wii remote control, you also get a game (Wii Sports). Plus, the Wii has a full Web browser and you can connect to the Internet for free. I just downloaded Super Mario Brothers 3 for the original NES. This thing rocks!

Heard about this from a friend but thought it would be too complicated to be useful.
While the manual is detailed it does not do justice to the capabilities imbedded in the watch with respect to displaying
It’s functions. That being said it is so much fun to use I have become totally addicted to it’s benefits in the training of athletes of any age.
Memory Up Exclusive 512MB

Fracas 2 pc Celebrate

I bought this for my Canon a590is. The original memory card was to small(32mb)so I bought a 1gb card class 2 and felt that was to small and perhaps too slow as well. I decided to buy transcends 4gb class 6 card and it has worked great. I have had no problems with it and the storage space this card affords is just about perfect for canon and the speed of this card is perfect for my uses. I am very happy with this cards performance!

I bought this when it was on sale because I needed a larger SD card for my camera (I love taking pictures and always run out of memory ) and I have had no problems with this card. Stores so much on such a little card. It’s amazing what technology is capable of doing these days!

Really nice lipstick. Creamy and moist but not an overwhelming color. I’ll buy again.

I received my order in the time that I was supposed to and found it to be what I ordered. I was very surprised when I received an email that told me I could up grade to the same program in the 2010 from Amazon through Microsoft. Very happy. Thanks for the great service.
