I ordered a new F5914-900 Hoover SteamVac. I noticed when I opened the box that it didn’t seem to be packaged properly – loose items, etc. It was in the right box but it just wasn’t right. When I put the handle and other pieces together I could see worn parts – slots scraped and worn. It was fairly clean as if it had been wiped down but I also thought the bristles looked frayed. I decided to go ahead and try it. When I opened the detergent cup to fill it the rubber seal was dirty and had hard water deposits on it. I had a room all cleaned out, vacuumed and ready to clean so I went ahead and assembled everything. Made several “wet” passes – dry as a bone. I followed all directions to the “T”. The only way I could get solution onto the carpet was to hold down the Clean Surge button while depressing the button for the regular cleaning function. It took two thumbs to hold down the Clean Surge while I pulled the trigger for the regular clean function with index finger. It did pull the solution out well when I made dry passes. It’s obvious that this was returned by someone else as defective and passed on to me. I just called Amazon and they apologized and are sending out a new machine immediately. They said that there are “occasional mix-ups in the warehouse with used and new items”. I gave it two stars for Amazon’s quick handling of the problem.
Hopefully I can do a follow up post when I get the new machine. Check your machine carefully when you unpack and assemble it.

11/1/2010 – Update – received the new machine in two days. What a difference. The new machine was dropped off and the old one picked up at the same time. There was a visible difference in the two boxes. The first box was obviously older and worn looking. The second machine works well. No problem with the regular cleaning function. I was very pleased with Amazon’s quick response to the error/problem.

So far this card is working as advertised. At this point I would be happy to recommend this card to anyone in my family or any of my friends. If you choose to purchase this card, I hope you have as good of an experience as I have had. Do something nice for someone today and tell them to pay it forward.

Bought this card for a Panasonic ZS7 camera and have had no problems. The card works just as well as two other memory cards I have of different brands. I like the capacity of this card and don’t think I’ll have to worry about filling it up. This has happened to me with 4gb cards.

I bought this about a year ago, and I LOVE it. It was easy to put together. It does an awesome job, the first time my carpet was SUPER clean. There is not a stain this machine will not clean up. Without this our carpets would look gross (we have a 2 year old mess maker).

Chose this scale because of the attractive price, good reviews, large display and the ” No Tap” feature. As good
or better than the reviews indicated, the repeatable accuracy is unnerving. I could get my other scale to weigh
more or less just by repeating the procedure. A nice feature when I am trying to delay the day of reckoning. My wife finds this scale to be as accurate as her Weight Watchers scale and an attractive addition to the bathroom.
