The Hoover Steam Vac with clean surge is a very easy to use machine. I did not use the cleaner that came with it. Instead, I pre-treated the spots on my carpet with Spot Shot. I then used boiling water in the steam vac instead of hot water as the directions said. I have found that when using the cleaner in the water, it leaves a residue on the carpet, which attracts dirt back into the carpet. This method of only using boiling water and pre-treating the spots worked great!!!!! I previously had my carpets professionally cleaned which cost me over $300. The Hoover Steam Vac cleaned my carpets better than the professionals. I am very pleased with it and would recommend it to anyone. It is easy to use and will pay for itself in no time. I have a dog that is getting older and is having more accidents and the Steam Vac easily removes the pet stains. Make sure to follow the directions closely to assemble the machine so that is works properly.

This book is exquisitely and sensitively written. As a native New Yorker who has spent the last twenty years living in MS and LA, I cannot imagine a more insightful depiction of race relations and society in the deep South.

I bought this two years ago on Amazon to accompany my Canon HF100 that I ordered at the same time. I was concerned that Transcend was not a common brand, but after all this time it works well, and I shoot a lot of video. At this price a Kingston is only class 4, and a lot of newer camcorders, which I plan to buy, require class 6. I’d buy another Transcend without question.

We wanted a portable mount that would be easily accessible and transportable from one vehicle to the other and that could be easily hidden from site. This one fit all criteria and works great. We are very happy with our purchase.

We noticed the great reviews for the product and ordered one. Unfortunately when it came we noticed the warning on the package: This product, its packaging and components contain ingredients known to the State of California to cause Cancer and Reproductive Harm!
Thanks Garmin. With the billions of dollars you are making you couldn’t cough up the bucks to make a product that doesn’t cause Cancer and Make it impossible for people to have kids!
I’m sure it would cost a few cents more per mount to make one without the Cancer causing ingredients but it just goes to show you where Gamrin’s priorities are.
I’m thinking about returning my Garmin GPS even. For all I know maybe that is cancer-causing too. Garmin put up a Website about it. Maybe instead of putting up Websites, you could get rid of the Cancer-causing and reproductive-harming ingredients!
Kudos to the State of California for making companies point this out. Finally, someone that is on the side of the consumer.
Garmin, I won’t need a GPS to send this cancer-causing garbage back to you to get my refund!

I’ve had this Kindle 2 for over 6 months now, and it’s an amazing little device. Easy to read, intuitive to operate. Downside – for a heavy reader, the instant book aspect is both a wonder and a danger. Books when I want them at 1 a.m. – great! Addictive overspending on ebooks – bad! Took about a month to find a comfortable spending level. I’ve tried an iPhone for reading, and the Kindle is much easier to hold and read. One annoyance – it’s a bit slow on the Whispernet – not dramatically so, but noticeable to someone who lives on the net.

We ordered the wii to try the cardio games, my wife and I are in our 60’s and love the games that give us time to spend with our grandchildren

WOW! This is the first item I have ordered from Amazon.com It came faster than expected, was soooo much cheeper that the store, and it works great without all the packaging that fills a landfil. There were no instructions but its a cable (not hard to figure out – plug it in) Oh, and did I mention, it works great! Thanks Amazon! You saved me about a dollar in gas, by not going to the store and $32.00 on the cable itself. Now thats what I call saving!

Sometimes, you make the mistake of buying a product based on its appearance rather than its quality. That was the mistake I made when purchasing a different Sportline pedometer. Luckily, I was smart enough to realize its fatal flaws and purchase this excellent pedometer instead. So far, I have been extremely impressed with this pedometer, and have even purchased one for another family member.

Here are some things I like about it:

Accuracy: When buying a pedometer, I think accuracy is probably one of the most, or THE most important feature to look for. This pedometer does its job flawlessly. It doesn’t record random non-step movements, shifts in your body when sitting down, and other things poor pedometers usually fall for.

Other useful features: For starters, this pedometer has a time display, so that is useful if you don’t want to wear a watch all the time. Also, it features distance readings based on the stride length you enter when you first turn it on. There’s a calorie meter and a aerobic step measurer, too. I don’t usually read the aerobic step count, but it could be useful to people who work out at a gym.

Durable, especially the display: This pedometer is pretty solid. You can’t abuse it too much, but it won’t show too much wear and tear after regular use. I find that the display is especially durable. It is covered by plastic (glass?) that is resistant to pressure. If you press down really hard on pretty much any display, it will flex and turn into weird colors. This screen doesn’t flex at all.

Includes two clips: As expected, this pedometer comes with a large clip for clipping on your pants. This clip is convenient and can easily open. Also, this pedometer features a smaller clip that opens with a bending mechanism. It is tougher and clips on your pants, even if the large clip falls off. This is a useful feature that prevents the pedometer from falling.

Memory: People who are using a pedometer for weight loss and fitness might
