I bought into the hype and rave reviews, seeing that thousands have purchased this product to their relative satisfaction, collectively. However, I have to say that I was pretty disappointed once I received the scale.

First off, here’s my disclaimer. First time I stepped onto it, I heard a loud cracking noise, which kind of freaked me out. I thought that I had broken it, on my first try. FYI, I’m a lean 5′6” guy who weighs around 140lb. Anyways, I checked the scale, looking for any cracks or broken legs. Found no suspicious sign. The scale still works after that, so I did not return it. So even if you take my review with a grain of salt, it still says something about the product’s credibility if a 140lb-guy can inflict any sort of damage to the scale on his first try.

Like any cautious buyer, I went on to test this product. Aside from having multiple people testing it and getting consistent results, I also tried various inanimate objects of predetermined weight, and the results were also relatively accurate and consistent. So at that time, my rating would have been a 3.5-4.

About 2-3 months in, results were getting more and more sketchy. I was constantly testing it for consistency with every use and getting more suspicious. I’d put on a jacket, and it’d give me the same reading. I’d weigh something much lighter (my laptop) and then weigh myself again, and I’d get different readings (either higher or lower). BUT if I keep weighing the same thing, I’d get the same reading. It’s as if this little bugger “remembered” the last reading. Whatever the case is, this scale may be precise, but I have serious doubts regarding its ACCURACY, which is what really matters to me.

I bought this item after my suction cup mount stopped sticking. Wouldn’t you know it, the day after I ordered this, the suction cup mount gave out while I was driving & dropped my gps onto the middle console of my car. It hit hard enough to break the on/off switch. Really ticked me off! Not only was my gps broken, but I was now lost downtown. Thankfully my gps unit was replaced & I immediately put its suction cup out of sight. No way will I use that again. This friction mount is perfect. It’s easy to use, easy to move whenever needed, stays put, & I’m not scared of it sending my gps unit flying.

I’m in college so I don’t have the time to keep up with new and up-and-coming books, but I usually have a huge list come summertime. This was the first on that list and I’m so happy it was! It was the perfect way to start off my summer. The story is about an old man in a nursing home reflecting his thoughts and his story. After the death of his parents, he runs away from an ivy league and ends up on a circus train. His story is about his trials at the circus and his relationship with Marlena.

The imagery is bursting and the action is so suspenseful that I found myself reading as fast as I could and even skimming to find out what happened next. The characters are extremely likeable and you can relate to a lot of them. They’re quirky with tangible flaws and the progress of the story is perfect. So why 4 stars? The ending caught me quite off-guard. Everything was believable but because it was so realistic, the conclusion ended up being blunt and left me thinking “would something like this really happen?”. But it really is one of the best books I’ve read all year and believe all the other reviewers; it’s as good as they say it is.

I bought the Hover SteamVac Carpet Cleaner after reading a recomendation on (…). I was going to call a carpet cleaning CO. to clean my living room and dining room before reading this recommendation. Guess what, I saved the price of having them clean the rugs. This is a great peice of equipment. I impressed my wife so much she can’t wait for me to clean the other rooms. Buying this paid for the cost of cleaning. It is one of the best buys I have made. It also was very easy to put together and use.

Apple iPod Touch Protective

The card seemed to work fine in a point and shoot camera however it is not compatible with the GoPro HD Hero series video cameras. The symptoms you will see are corrupt video files, video recordings that stop by themselves, or ‘SOS’ on the camera display. Switched to a brand recommended by GoPro (Kingston or Patriot) and the problem went away. I hope this saves someone else the extra expense and time consuming troubleshooting I experienced.
