I ordered a Transcend card using the Amazon frustration-free packaging. It turns out, the packaging was the only part that was frustration free. When I opened the package, i was surprised to discover two cards, as I’d only ordered one. I soon found out why. After a while, the card would just stop working. My camera would display a message like memory card error. Sometimes, turning the camera off and on would fix the problem, sometimes not. The only way to fix the error was to completely re-format the card. That means erasing all your photos currently on the card, which I don’t like to do. The same thing happened with the other card. I tried these cards on two different cameras. Why did I get two cards? Was it because they knew the cards were somewhat defective? Pure accident? I will order from a different vendor in the future.

This is a really nice piece of equipment. The glass is easy to clean, plus the open nature of the design keeps it from looking like it takes up too much room. The thing I LOVE about it is the light up display!! Our old scale was plastic (which cracked) and you couldn’t see the small numbers, let alone the fact that it didn’t light up. This is wonderful!! Very accurate too – you get the same reading if you step on and off, which I never got with our old scale. It would jump so many times, you had to average out your weight based on how many attempts you made. Give it a try, you won’t be disappointed.

Simply does what it says at a great price. No complaints.
Bought about 5 months ago, still going strong.

The Forerunner 305 has lived up to expectations, based on my first few weeks of experience. I use it for jogging/walking and it appears consistent and accurate based on about 10 outings of 6 mile length.

Positives: Light weight, easy to read, much flexibility on output displays, docks and synchronizes seemlessly with the Garmin Training Center software, works as advertised. I particularly like to display current pace as well as average pace.

Negatives (but none are serious): Takes 30 to 45 seconds to find satellites. I have a short attention span and tend to get impatient waiting for it to lock onto the satellites.

Tip: I occasionally record a false start by accident, then stop the run after say 5 or 10 seconds. Unfortunately, this “run” is recorded on the GPS. After uploading the data to the Garmin Training Center, I deleted the bogus run from the uploaded records. But every time I dock/sync, the short run was restored to the training record. The solution is to upload data, delete the unwanted record, clear the GPS memory, then send the remaining good records from the Training Center back to the GPS device. Said another way, I couldn’t find a way to delete a record directly from the GPS, but the workaround accomplishes the same thing.

Haven’t had any problems with this cleaner, except the button for the hand-held squirter gets stuck, so I ended up soaking some chairs. Figured out how to deal with that, so all is well. Love the freedom of being able to clean the carpet myself when I want to, a room at a time, instead of having a professional come over and do the whole thing at once on his schedule. This cleaner leaves the floor much less wet than the pro, also.
