Got this for my wife. She is a tremendous bookworm, and I never thought she could make a transition to a different medium than hardback so willingly and easily. The vast choices of inexpensive literature available for the kindle makes it well worth the buy. We’ll never be short of a book to read again.

My wife has used the vacuum several times and is satisfied with its cleaning ability. However, using the hose attachments is almost useless due to the shortness of the hose.

I was disappointed in my purchase since the pictured vacuum cleaner had a light. When I received it there was a black cover where the light should have been. I acknowledge that the information did not specify a light but the picture did. I called Amazon and their representative offered me several options to rectify the problem. I was extemely pleased with the representative’s offered options to correct the problem.

I would also like to point out that I have looked at another product and again the pictured item and the model number were incorrect. The picture was for a more expensive model and the price for the model number shown was considerably more than I could purchase the item locally. This made my think that the model number was incorrect and the picture was correct. Hoping to resolve this discrepancy I called Amazon and was told the picture was incorrect. The price was for the model number shown. When I told the representative that I could purchase the product significantly cheaper at a local store, I was told that not all products offered on Amazon would be cheaper than could be purchased locally. This has caused me to question every product offered on Amazon; is the picture shown what you will get or is it of another model and you will not know this until you receive the item.

I can’t wait to get this DVD set. I have been waiting for 2 years now. I went to NYC to the museum of Radio and Tv and I saw a few episodes. I cried so much because I felt like I was five years old again. This show was so magical to me. I loved the songs they sang, the beautiful tree and especially Shirlock the squirrel. I wish I could get a puppet just like Shirlock the squirrel. I used to run off the bus from Kindergarten to watch this show. I loved when Shirlock always tried to trick Carole and Paula into giving him the peanuts. I am curious to see which episodes they chose to put on DVD set and if anymore episodes will come out after this set is released. Wouldn’t it be great to get the complete set of episodes? I would pay just about anything to get them. If anyone knows which episodes are going to be on this DVD set, please let me know. I am just so excited….

I’m sure that this vacuum is indeed the best choice in the $100 or less price range. It does a very good job of cleaning carpet–as good as our old Kenmore Progressive upright vacuum which was $250 or so about 8 years ago–and has a powerful 12 amp motor. It’s inexpensive, and it cleans carpet well.

Yes. This is all true.

However . . . this thing feels CHEAP. I understand that an under a $100 vacuum is not going to be built to the same standards as one two or three times as expensive . . . but . . . I still expect it to be a well designed product no matter what the price. This vacuum is not. The dust bag cover fits poorly and has–I kid you not–a full quarter inch of play between it and the mating surface. When the suction is on, air pressure will push the seal against the mating flange, yes, but when the vacuum is off . . . well, it’s just not sealed. And also this dust bag cover DOES NOT HAVE AN ACTUAL LATCH. You latch it by flexing the whole cover downward enough that the catch clears the top notch in the body that secures it.

Next in the list of poorly designed items comes the back cord windup. It looks and feels like an after thought. There is a top and a bottom “L” bracket around which you wind the cord, but the vacuum hose is right there in between, which forces the cord winding coil to be bulged out and to feel insecure. Don’t get me wrong. It does work. Or it would have if my unit hadn’t been defective, that is (more on this in a second). But even though it works, it’s the sort of thing that would annoy me every single time I used the vacuum. And, in my case, the “C” shaped rubber clip at the base of the plug (molded into it) had so small a channel that there WAS NO WAY that it would actually grab one of the earlier winding loops of the cord so that the whole coiling would remain secure and in place! And, on top of that, the “guide hook” at the top “L” bracket which is supposed to hold the cord in place in a convenient location while yo

I have been purchasing books from Amazon.com since they first opened for business. It has been fun watching them grow and prosper. They couldn’t have done that if they didn’t provide good service and products. I will continue to purchase from them.

The book I purchased was Conversations With God #1. I have already read this book and the others in the series over and over. I purchase it again from time to time to give to someone else. It is an important book.

I used the Garmin Forerunner 305 for just about a year. It worked great and was very helpful for tracking my runs but then it just stopped working. The software that came along with the watch now can not recognize the watch. I have tried several recommended fixes and none of them work. A one year life span is pretty weak.

Like others have reviewed and commented on this item… the only thing I really dislike about it is the clear screen cover. The plastic cover for the touchscreen can also get problematic if you leave some air space between it and the iPhone’s screen. Unsightly air bubbles appear. Other than that- (and that it isn’t easy to separate the iphone from the otterbox quickly- for say when you want to use the iphone in a stereo plug in)- I really like my Otterbox very very much. I’d give it an A-

I love the grip it has on my slippery iphone (this will be my 4th iphone since i kept breaking them) and find that I have finally found a way to keep my iphone safe. I highly recommend this cover for all iphone users. I also like the yellow/black colors- it makes it easy to find in my dark purse!

Amazing. One small word, sums it up. I am a very avid comparison shopper and very hesitant to spend alot of money on cases. I have bought 4+ cases, finally spent the cash and splurged. I am a touchy person, so I actually bought this at the apple store. Difference of twenty bucks, but apple store gives you a year warranty. This mother is a beast. I can probably throw this against the wall, and no harm will be done. Clips very nicely into the holster, very easy to use. Complaints about it being bulky, well, you either get bulky and protection, or not! It doesn’t really add that much bulk, and to me it actually makes it easier to hold the phone!

I would buy this again and probably will be buying it for my brother, as he is just as rough on phones as I am. I would recommend this to everyone!
