After reading a lot of the reviews here on amazon and other sites I had decided this was the vacuum for me. I had been looking at Dysons and some other higher priced vacuums but after stumbling on this vacuum and the rave reviews, I couldn’t not check it out for myself. I suffer from a chronic pain condition and let me tell you, with my other vacuum, a very nice bagless dirt devil. It was like pushing a freight train. The hoover tempo is a breeze to push and it does an amazing job! I have a dog with a skin condition and year round excessive shedding is the norm around here. using my old vacuum took all the energy I could muster for the day, just to vacuum the living room and hallway. To be honest, I started only vacuuming once a week or so (which isn’t NEARLY enough with my dog) because it was such a chore. I cannot say enough good things about how well the hoover pushes, picks up the dog hair and performs! It is not everyday that you tell your family and friends about a new cleaning tool, but I have told everyone I know! I am SO glad I made this purchase.

I love this pedometer. I wear it on all my walks and it keeps me motiated to go that extra mile!!!

I received a new generation Kindle as a gift. I’ve found that contrary to what is advertised the books are much more than the $9+ price. I can wait and buy the books in paperback for much less at Target. Also, many times it takes a long time for a page to connect. I wish I had tried the Nook to compare the two.

Let’s be serious: when you see a product this cheap (price-wise), you have to assume it’s crap. You’ve been to Best Buy, you know that a “good quality” HDMI cable is at least 30 dollars. I was in the same boat. I bought a six-foot HDMI cable from Best Buy for 30 dollars for my new laptop to hook up to my 32″ 720p HDTV. And then I saw this online, with amazing reviews. So I figured, “Why not?” and bought it.

Let’s just say I returned the other cable.

There was no image quality difference between the two cables at all. Build quality was the exact same, no stripped wires or cheap materials. No gold-plated differences. It was the same cable. Same product, performance, durability, blah blah blah. Honestly, there is NO reason to not buy this cable. None. Not even the wait time. For the price of this cable plus fast delivery it’s STILL less than buying in-store. Sure, you’ll have to wait an extra day or two, but one would assume that you are buying this cable for something in the long-term, like a TV or gaming system or laptop or whatever.

Do yourself a favor and buy this. I promise you will never buy a cable from the Big Boys again.

I bought the furminator after adopting a lab/shepard mix from a rescue group and found that just brushing her left her shedding all over the place. I bought this little tool and fell in love with it. It removes so much hair and the dog loves it. I also tried it on my parents two cats and they love it also. One will tolerate a wire brush but never near his stomach and chest, but with the furminator he starts purring after one or two strokes. Sometimes it was difficult to get his back and sides because he kept rolling over and wanted the furminator used on his chest and belly. The amount of hair that came off the cat was amazing, hopefully this will help reduce his shedding a bit.

I do have to agree with other reviews I’ve seen and do the brushing outside where one can sweep up the hair, this is true more so with the dogs just because of the larger bodies but one probably wants to have a trash can nearby when even using the furminator on a cat, the amount of fur cleaned out of the undercoat is just astounding.

I didnt want to use the traditional suction cup on my windshield. I live in an extremely hot country. And several other people that use the suction cup with their GPS, it falls all the time… So i tried a different route. AND I LOVE IT. It stays in place, doesnt move at all, and i’ve been on some bumpy country roads… I wouldnt use anything else.

This was an important purchase by us for our grandson’s 16th birthday. He has been totally delighted with this iPod, therefore we are totally delighted as well.

There is nothing you need to do for set up except clip your Garmin onto it. The ease of that part is great. It stays where you set it and when you get out of your car you can easily put it in a bag or console for keeping it safe. I highly recommend this product if you have the need for a mount that is easy to use.

I can’t believe how strong this vacuum is!! Considering how old it is, this is one GOOD vacuum. It works better than any others I’ve used, and I’ve gone through a lot(!) and each one lasts only a couple months or barely a year. I love, love, love this thing, it’s one of the best investments you can put down for your house. Seriously, do not doubt a vacuum just because of age.

I had a creative zen vision M… this is better!
The back is corroding on this which is disappointing but whatever.
Otherwise everything else about it is nice
