i was in the market for a carpet cleaner that actually does what it’s supposed to. Based on amazon reviews, and a consumer reports magazine article, I chose this particular model. I am very glad I did. I used this on berber carpet that was installed 3 years ago, and never been steam cleaned. I have 3 dogs(and the accidents that eventually happen), 2 kids and a husband that refuses to remove his shoes after coming in the house. I was skeptical that this machine could clean up the dog urine stains, and dirt stains that had worked into the carpet. Well I was wrong! I couldnt believe the dirt that came out of them! My carpets not only LOOK clean, they smell better now too!
And the Hoover was easy as pie to work with. The key to getting the most out of this machine is from the old Aesop’s fable- slow and steady wins the race! Take your time going over the carpet, and you will see a great difference. I have only used this Hoover once so far on my carpets, and I know after using it more I will notice an even better difference.

If you are looking for a vacuum cleaner that is no frills, easy to assemble, and has a 12 amp motor…look no further. I was going to get a Dyson until I did the math and realized I could get 5 of these for the same price and put one on every floor of my house and have 2 left over. Tired of cleaning filters? Yeah, me too. This one has the easy disposable bag that changes in 60 seconds. The dirt & dust in my house doesn’t know it is being sucked up by a $79 vacuum cleaner versus the $500 Dyson.

My wife asked me to make digital copies of some turn-of-the-century photographs so I bought a camera stand, a macro lens, and this wireless remote. The problem, of course, is the remote has to be in front of the camera, which was only a few inches above the old photograph. The solution was a small mirror, propped slightly out of the camera’s view, next to the photograph. The remote then worked perfectly from behind (above) the camera, just by pointing it at the mirror.

When I first contemplated buying a GPS unit, I was not happy to read that the units mounted on a suction cup device that attached to an automobile’s windshield. I have had experiences in the past with suction cups on glass, and these experiences were always less than satisfactory. I was even more dismayed when I asked friends with a GPS unit about their suction cup mounting experience. Consequently, I ended up searching the Internet for an alternative mounting solution, and that’s when I stumbled upon the Portable Friction Mount. After reading through dozens and dozens of user and a few professional reviews, I ordered the Portable Friction Mount at the same time that I ordered my Garmin Nuvi 1390T. The mount is wonderful!
The Friction Mount was easier to assemble than it was to cut open its packaging. And, adjusting the GPS unit in the Mount is similar to adjusting your car’s rear view mirror. During the past 5 weeks that I have been using it under normal driving conditions, it has not moved one iota from its position on my Honda dashboard. I am very impressed with its gripping ability. At the same time, the size of the Mount has not interfered at all with my field of vision when I’ve been driving. And further, as other reviewers have pointed out, the Mount allows you to easily remove your GPS equipment out of sight, if theft is a concern. I take my GPS unit with me, and I stow the Mount in the trunk of my car.
All of this said, however, I do have one reservation about this Mount. That is, if an individual was in (heaven forbid) a car accident, could the Mount become a dangerous missile during impact, or since it is weighted, would it tumble harmlessly onto the car’s center console and/or the floor? I haven’t been able to find an answer.
Nevertheless, at this point, I am very satisfied with this Portable Friction Mount, and I have recommended it to several friends who have GPS units and are unhappy with their suction cup mounts.
