To the point:
Pros:
Excellent at picking up dog hair from bare floors, rugs.
Not too heavy, very maneuverable, easy to carry around and to store
Excellent price
Cons:
Air blows out of left side and makes you work a little harder in hallways and near walls
Hose mode not very easy to use, some tools fall out of their storage place
Changing bags is a bit tricky
Does not go under furniture (problematic because hose and wand feature is not easy to use)
Overall it is a good product. Problems are not difficult to overcome. If cord is short or I want to minimize plugins I use 16 foot extension cord. For under furniture that cannot be moved easily, I use the Hoover brand small cannister type vac that I bought 27 years ago. Hoover is a good brand.

This pedometer is accurate,but the large clip causes the pedometer to stick out 1 1/2 inches away from the body. Not cool under a fitted T shirt. The safty clip couldn’t be pried open with a sturdy butter knife. Usless,so I threw it away and use a small safety pin. Pocket only pedometer.

This memory card handles HD video from my Panasonic Lumix camera. The quality is great, and it is fast enough for the videos.

The book had noticeable markings & stains on the cover which were not in te description.

Everything you’ve read about this amazing tool is TRUE! I have a 5 1/2 year old Golden Retriever who seems to always be shedding. Whether it’s loose fly aways or hair left on our carpet, her hair seems to always be everywhere. Thankfully, the Furminator is the answer to all of our hair woes! I couldn’t believe the amount of hair that came off of her after her first grooming session with the Furminator! This product is well worth the money!

I’ve had a few different pedometers, but like this one the best. I even bought another one for my daughter. I love the aerobic step counter- keeps you honest about how long and how far you went on a continuous walk. Also love the fact that you just put it in a pocket and forget it.

This book is obviously a favorite among avid readers. I was surprised to find that it is not available on the Amazon Kindle. For everyone reading this, I would very much appreciate if you would click the link underneath the book image that says “I’d like to read this on the Kindle.” Thank you.

when i borrowed the friend’s garmin that caused me to buy one of my own, they gave me this same clover-shaped friction mount to use with it. likewise, because it was so easy to set up & use, i got one to match, too. this thing works great, and doesn’t leave scuffs/residue/etc on the dash of the car. i really don’t want to leave suction cup marks all over the glass or obstruct any direct viewing real estate out the window, and those air-vent clip mounts look really flimsy, so a dash mount was the way to go. it’s decently grippy: for the most part, even with sharp corners & quick turns, this unit won’t slide off the dash. hit a pothole or an unexpected bump in the road at any speed, though, and the unit will jitter over a bit (so far, not enough to slide out of reach or fall on the floor, but still). it’s a bit too bulky to easily hide in the glove compartment or console, so i’ve just been tossing it up under the passenger side dash or in the backseat floorboards. it’s not perfect, but it’s so much easier than most any other option.

Microsoft decided it was time to change paradigms and go with a “menuless” system with Office 2007. This may make it easier to the most basic of users to get started using some things, but for anybody that is comfortable with previous versions of office or needs more than “the basics” this thing is a disaster. The addition of OneNote is of dubious value unless you have a tablet PC, and the removal of Outlook leaves users searching for another solution or moving to online solutions since Outlook Express (or even the replacement Windows Live Mail) does not cover more than the basics.
It is functional, and can do most of what you want it to do, but Microsoft Office Home and Student Edition is a serious misstep. If you are comfortable with previous versions of Office, you might be more comfortable with OpenOffice, which has the Office 2003 look and feel… and is FREE for the full suite, not a paired down collection.

Great steamvac for the price. Much better then the Bissel Pro Cleaner. Very easy to use. Took me half the time to steam clean then it did with the Bissel. I was amazed at how much more dirt came up with the Hoover SteamVac. Very glad I bought it!
