Good luck... didn't even last 2 years
Avoid this at all costs. I opened the freezer only to find everything was melted. This was kept indoors in a clean, dry room so it's not like it was left in a dusty garage. We ended up throwing out about $500 dollars worth of food. Save your money and buy something that is actually quality made.

Get it sooner than later
I'm really amazed that my dentist didn't recommend one of these before. So much better than "regular" flossing, and is already improving my gum-disease issues. I think more people should pre-emptively get these instead of waiting until an amount of damage is done like I did.

Do yourself a favor and don't buy it.
I'm make this quick. I'm a longtime PC user -- over twenty years experience with all manner of business and web applications. Even in this latest version, the Quickbooks interface absolutely sucks. One of the most non-intuitive, poorly designed business applications I've ever seen. The mere fact that you need a certified Quickbooks advisor to help you use it properly should give you a clue. How can Quicken be so good and Quickbooks such a woeful dog? I'm very unhappy with it, an opinion I've held for over eight years of exposure to this program. What are the alternatives? Frankly, I don't know. If you have an idea, I'm all ears. I'd pay double or triple the price of QB to get something good. Thanks for listening.

Not ready for prime time
Please don't upgrade or purchase this version. It is not ready. I have been a quicken user for over 15 years and this is possibly the worse version they have made yet. I upgraded so I could use their mobile app and I should not have. The program makes lots of errors with your data and I have spent countless hours correcting the mistakes. I'm sought of stuck now, but I would easily downgrade, go back to v2011 if I could. This version may be ready in a few months, but it is not ready now.. Stay away.

LOVE this product
I'm really becoming addicted to the Burt's Bees Line. This is a great cleanser. I have combination skin that tends to get dry in the cheeks and oily in the T-zone. This product leaves my face feeling refreshed and slightly moisturized. (No tightness but no greasiness either.) I have tried just about everything out there. This is by far my favorite cleanser and I will continue to use this as long as they make it. I have thought about trying their Orange Essence cleanser but as my skin is also sensitive I am a bit apprehensive as I think the orange (citric) may be too strong for my skin. This cleanser is very calming and I have absolutely NO irritation from it. Update as of 1/7/08...Well the smell did finally get to me. In the beginning I really liked it but as I was using it more I just couldn't take the bannana scent any more. I didn't get any irritation with this product it was just mostly the scent. I've started using Jason Aloe face lotion instead...an organic product with a very light scent. So far I like it but I'm still on a quest for the perfect moisturizer.

Seems to be Working
I'm really excited because after three days of use, I can see some improvement in my teeth already. I've had no burning of gums and have experienced only a slight sensitivity to my teeth. I don't know if the Sensodyne I started using two weeks ago in preparation for the use of the strips had any effect but the sensitivity is very tolerable for me. Some gripes: I wish they made the upper strip longer to cover more of the upper teeth and I wish they had cut the lower strip better because you can very well see 3/4 of an inch wasted when you peel off the lower strip from its plastic backing. Will report back on the final result once I've finished the whole treatment.

From Amazon-Not a Honeywell filter !!!!
As titled in the Amazon.com web page, I believed I had ordered an HC-15 HONEYWELL Humidifier Filter. What I received was an RPS products knock off. Nowhere on the boxed filters I received does it say Honeywell. Why? because it isn't!!! I'm not certain how this is advertised as a "Honeywell" product. Honeywell is a registered trademark, and to my knowledge not licensed to RPS Products "Best Air". Will the filters work? Perhaps.

Do It
I'm really getting good at opening up these old dryers. The insides are so simple and the parts are very easy to replace. Kick me if I ever think of replacing this with one of those new computer controlled contraptions. Tip: clear the lint exhaust line. That is what causes each of these little parts to fail.

Im really happy with my Della
Im really happy with my Della. I bought it on Wednesday 3/7 and on Saturday 3/10 it was at my front door. I have washed a few things and the machine works beautifully. At the first I put 2 shower towels and some clothes it makes like 10 pounds and it did perfectly. My second load was two queens set of sheets, the one in the photo and the machine was running without problems. By the way, the spin can run at the same time than the washer, clothes came out that just need a few minutes in the dryer! I cant ask for more. Oops I given 4 starts because it came broken at one corner, not a big deal but they can be more careful with the delivery!

This is a nice tank that you can wear under low cut tops. The only problem is that it's too short. I'm 5'5, so I'm not a tall person. I had to keep pulling the tank down because it kept riding up. It was annoying.

Sweet deal
I'm really happy with this purchase. I won't have to buy soap for a very long time. I wish there was a deal this good on toothpaste. I live in a house with one other person. We shower daily and it's amazing how long this shipment has lasted. I just opened the second package of boxes this week. As for the soap itself, you've probably used it before. All I can say is is if you liked it, there's no reason you won't like this. The bars aren't "fun-sized" or anything sneaky like that. They are normal-sized bars of soap. I personally like this soap and its smell, and it doesn't dry me out. You may be different. Who knows.

I'm really impressed with the quality of these tights. They are not this or overly see through. My 5 1/2yr old started tap and needed tan tights vs her pink from ballet. I purchased a size 6 for her. She is about average height and weight for her age. She does have very long legs and these accommodated that no problem, with room to grow. I would certainly purchase more from this company.

Impressed! Very bright, last forever, and just keep on going!
I'm really impressed with these shoes. At about 35 bucks when I bought them I figured I'd get one wear out of them before they broke. I've now worn them to numerous parties, conventions, and festivals and they just keep going. They are really bright and trust me will get you noticed. Best part though is how long they last on a charge. ALL NIGHT. And I mean all night as in "turn them on when the sun goes down and they'll still be going when it comes back up". I have noticed an occasional short or something recently in one of the shoes that comes and goes. Might be that one is about to go but for how much use (and FUN!) I've gotten out of these for the price I paid I wouldn't hesitate to buy another pair if it does.

Moisturizing face mask that is silicone but is easy to clean
I'm really like the way this mask keeps your skin very much moisturizer and you get a chance to receive all the benefits of your cloth mask or any kind of mask that you put on your face. I usually use my under eye pads on my eyes with a mask. And in the past my mask is trying to slide on and my eye pads don't get a chance to give me all the benefits that they have to help my under eyes darkness. But with this moisturzering face mask I am able to move through the house without worrying about my mask falling off. The only time is that the moisturizing mask is very tight around my ears and it tends to pull on them enough where it does hurt a little. Even after I have cut a way closer into the mask and not the ear straps it still is very tight. Also what you see in the picture below that one of the straps that goes around my ear broke. I would like to use mask to be more fitting for faces that are not as petite as others but I would buy this mask again and perhaps just cut it in a different way.

Great alternative to Tyvek
I'm really liking this wallet. It's replacing a Tyvek wallet of the same size, which only lasted me about a year. This nylon wallet feels much more durable, but the material isn't noticeably thicker than Tyvek, which is great. It's a little floppy, which takes some getting used to, but doesn't bother me at all. There are rubber pads inside the credit card pockets to keep cards from coming out, which adds some slight bulk (and seems unnecessary, since the cards shouldn't be able to slip out of a closed wallet anyway), but after a month of daily use, I haven't been bothered by the extra thickness. This is definitely a minimalist wallet, with only two pockets for credit cards, one pocket for cash, and no ID window. If you prefer more organization, you're going to be disappointed, but if you want to forget you even have a wallet in your back pocket, this is a great buy.

A Nice Improvement
I'm really not sure why other reviews of Windows Me haven't been so favourable. Sure its an intermediate OS between windows 98 and XP but its worth having. The improvements over 98 are the media player, the picture preview function in windows explorer, some visual improvements, and my favorite - the automatic internet connection which means you can put a copy of your dial-up programme in the start-up menu and it will connect straight away when you turn your computer on. Overall its pretty good actually and a significant improvement from windows 98 for the home user. I haven't had any problems with blue screens or crashes like other users seem to have. Windows 98 was three years ago -- step into the new millenium :)

Love Tatler
I'm really pleased to be able to get Tatler through Amazon subscription services - wow! I used to have to drive across town to a crowded mall where the only newsstand that carries it is located and most of the time they were out of it anyway. Tatler is amusing, very English, witty and almost always informative in some way. My subscriber copies arrive promptly from the UK (note, as the product description mentions, it does take a few weeks for your FIRST issue to arrive - I ordered my subscription on Nov 22 and got my first one - the February issue - in January). I had assumed there would be a lag between when I'd get my copy as a US subscriber and when Brits get theirs, but there isnt. The March issue arrived in mid-Feb. Its a happy day when Tatler arrives via Royal Mail at my doorstep!

Graco 2H03 filter
I'm really surprised at all of the negative reviews on this filter. I use the 4 Gallon Graco humidifier in my small wine/cigar cellar and still have the original filter after almost a year!!! Admittedly it's finally given-up-the-ghost and I'm ordering replacements now, but wouldn't dream of switching brands. Perhaps it's simply a matter of how much water gets processed through it and mine set at 75% humidity only uses 4 gallons of water every 2-3 weeks. In any event the unit and the filter suit my needs and pocketbook just fine...

Terrific program
I'm really surprised by some of the other reviewer's negative comments regarding this product. I was given the Punch! 5-in-1 program as a Christmas present and then purchased the Punch! 3000 program a couple of years later. When I got the Punch! 5-in-1 I had never used a CAD program before and really had very pretty limited experience with using computers in general. I have not run into any of the difficulties or limitations that the other reviewers complained about so I suspect that they just haven't learned to use the program. Punch! 3000 is pretty complicated but that's because it has a LOT of tools. I'm actually glad I started with the much less "robust" 5-in-1 program because it didn't overwhelm me and 3000 might have. I am not an architect but am nevertheless currently in the process of actually building my dream home exactly as I designed it using Punch!3000. It is a 2 story, 3 bedroom, 3 1/2 bath, with wraparound porch, backyard decks, and a complex roomline that includes dormers. I designed every piece of it down to the foundation, plumbing, HVAC, and sidewalks. Yes, I did take my Punch!3000 plans to a professional designer and engineer to prepare working blueprints because I wanted a professional to verify that what I had planned was actually buildable...that the "physics" would work. But, it turned out that the only changes recommended to my design were slight variations (inches) in the lenths of a couple of room so as to take advantage of stock sizes of building materials and some changes to the electrical wiring scheme so as to balance the anticipated electrical loads better (i.e., get all the big appliances OFF the same circuit.) My designer said he'd seen a lot of stock house plans with a whole lot more problems than my design had. I did get a bit frustrated with how slowly Punch 3000! prepared live view renditions when my design got complicated but I suspect that the slow rendition was more due to limitations in my computer's memory than anything inherent in the program. And, I didn't actually ever use the Animator tool (played around with it a little but didn't really feel the need to "make a movie" of my house plans.) All in all, I think Punch!3000 is a great program and, while I'm glad to be finally building my dream home, I'm kind of sorry that I will no longer have any excuse for spending hours-on-end playing with this program and tweaking my design! Then again, I haven't done anything yet with the landscaping tools and I'll have almost 3 acres to landscape when we get moved in ... ;)

FAILED...When Needed Most
This software might be recommended if better utilities weren't out there. This one gives the user a sense of security, but when my system crashed, Fix-It couldn't. I dutifully put in the Rescue Disk, booted up on it, restored my earlier system, exited and rebooted. Nothing. Before I'd been able to get into safe mode, but now nothing. So when I manually restored my system, guess which program got yanked? And it freed up a lot of system resources, too. (Had I known how much before, that alone would have soured me.) My system now runs faster and doesn't lag while typing. Another small criticism: Even though Fix-It has automatic update for virus scans, I found more often than not I had to go to the VCom site and manually download the anti-virus files. No reason was ever given; I'd just get a message telling me to do it. Very inconvenient. Also WARNING*WARNING: This program has strict activation. You can only have it on one computer, so forget putting it on your notebook computer. Finally, be careful when cleaning your registry. Look at every entry this suite wants to delete. If you run it on default, it may remove critical registry keys and settings. In fact, I'd use a different registry cleaner or some of the free ones. Fix-It has some great features, but not enough to make it worth the system resources and a system sluggish system. (Not to mention the anti-virus problem). Try System Mechanic instead.

Exactly what I needed...
I'm remodeling my kitchen in order to sell the house. I needed a stainless steel hood to match the appliances without paying a lot of money. After looking locally, I started to think I would have to pay around $300. Then I found this one. It is exactly like the old one, only stainless steel and maybe a little quieter fan. That's why I gave it five stars. If I were going to stay in this home, I might have paid a few more dollars for a quieter fan. A good quality, basic hood.

$50 well spent
I'm renovating a bathroom and decided to GC the project myself. This software allowed me to create an accurate drawing of the room (suitable to present to the municipal authorities for electrical and plumbing permits). In addition, it was a lot of fun to try out different interior design elements (pedastal sink vs vanity, etc.) to create the desired final look. The materials list generated by the program was also very helpful. FInally, it was easy to point and click through and I mastered it quickly. Given that the overall cost of this project is many 1000s of dollars, it was worth the extra $50 to do be able to do the design work myself.

Swift and slick!
I'm retired so have some time to indulge in my passion for computing. I'm a registered developer with Apple and always prefer the most user friendly software. It's almost certain that many people will still need to use the Windows platform to run programs for hardware not yet fully supported on the Apple platform. Hence my absolute admiration for developers like Parallels and their virtualisation program. Their programmers' abilities, attention to detail and involvement of end users are the 3 primary reasons why their programs rock. Primarily I use Parallels to compensate for the lack of Mac OS X third party hardware support & of course Parallels also allows for support to users from other operating system platforms.

If used correctly, it will scrub your back
I'm reviewing the back scrubber, not the ups guy, not the plastic it was shipped in, not the flavor of the scrubber, and not any other thing associated with the overall logistical process of the product making it to my front door. Great, scrubs as it should. Couldn't be happier, description is accurate. I expected to receive a back scrubber that could reach the middle of my back. It is as it should be. If you are looking for a rocket ship or the Swiss army knife version of a Loofah, do not buy this product. If you have a hard time reaching spots on your back, during bathing and personal grooming, buy this. It will help. I don't care about the packaging or how pretty it is, it arrived undamaged and had not been used by anyone before me. At least, I'm telling myself that no one before me used it. I'm not sure how they test the product prior to shipping. I did wash it before use. So, in summary: It scrubs the back well, there is a section that is a little rougher in texture than the rest of the Loofah. It is not a rocket ship. It doesn't matter about frivolous things such as packaging color or texture of the plastic it was shipped in. It's a back scrubber, not a living room conversational piece.

Subtle and effective.
I'm reviewing this after first trying the oil version and receiving a free unit of the spray. First, I love the oil -- it's subtle but builds as it blends with my own body chemistry. I find myself smiling more confidently and receiving more positive attention, from everyone, not just other men. Who wouldn't want that? The spray is just as subtle and effective, but is easier to use and seems to last longer. I recommend both versions, and leave it up to ones preferred method of application as far as which one to choose. UPDATE: I am continuing to purchase this product because I find that it does elicit positive responses from other men -- in fact, both men and women frequently comment on it, saying things like "You smell really good..." "What cologne are you wearing?" etc. It creates opportunities for conversation and for connecting with people.

pretty clean
I'm reviewing this after I used it only once because you can really notice the difference from the first time! It smooths, cleans, slightly controls the discoloration especially in my nail toes from the first time which is a good thing.

From XP 32 to XP 64
I'm reviwing this product in comparison with Windows XP 32-bit, the operating system I've been using for years and still do at work. I reject Vista, which seems practically unusable for an advanced technical user. One of the things that bugs me about the x64 version is that the 64-bit version of Explorer doesn't support 32-bit extensions - some of which I used frequently. I understand this is a technical limitation, so I'll just have to hope that someday the creators of the software I use frequently will eventually develop 64-bit extensions. There's a way to force use of the 32-bit Explorer by default, but in doing so, the Control Panel becomes pretty much inaccessible except from the Start menu, which is still running the 64-bit Explorer (since most Control Panel items are only available in the 64-bit Explorer). I like to organize my "Program Files" folder. However, Windows XP x64 wants all 32-bit programs to go into the new "Program Files (x86)" folder, meaning I'll have some programs in the "Program Files" folder and some in the "Program Files (x86)" folder, which disrupts my organization. For most programs, it can work to change the default install folder to "Program Files", but in some cases, Windows (or the installer) overrides your decision and installs to the "Program Files (x86)" folder anyway. There are other anomalies here and there that I can't easily figure-out and were never a problem with the 32-bit version, but these are usually small annoyances if any. Otherwise, it's pretty much what you'd expect from XP. It's a pretty solid and usable Microsoft operating system. Easy to install.

Beautiful and well-made!
I'm right up there with all the 5 star reviews! This is so pretty and sexy. Not flimsy! Also true to size. I ordered a 14-16 as I am a 14-16 in pants and dresses, depending on the designer.. It's fits really nicely with a little room to spare.

Things to consider
I haven't tried this product but am considering it and doing my research...to the review that shows ingredients I found a different list at Sephora and Skin Deep Database. The review showed parabens which concerned me but that's not in the other listings; the database has another ingredient of the *old product* that is a toxin. All in all, buyer beware of people's reviews, all opinion and some false info... I'm not done researching, nor am I done weighing out my needs. Some powders claim to have other benefits but SPF is lower. I like that this one is 45.

Easy enough considering broad functionality
I'm running the product on a Celeron processor at 2.5GHz, which is slower than specified for the software. Previews are not perfect for me (doesn't show all the frames and the sound is a little off pace) but the MPEG files I produce are fine, as are the DVDs I burn. No coasters yet! The sequencing of tasks is logical and well done. I have no idea whether HD is a problem, since I do MPEG 640x480. The Multi-Trim editing is very well done, down to the level of individual frames. The library of "effects" (like fade wipes between clips) is very large and fun to play with. The titling capabilities include lots of animations, also fun to play with.

Seems to give both isolation and access. Awesome.
I'm running Windows 7 64bit Pro in a VM on my MacBook Pro Retina and have had no problems, other than the default installation was a bit too integrated, I had to change some options to make it so my mac folders were not as accessible from the Window's side. I had a 32bit pro set up at the same time, but attempts to make it run a popular game in XP mode wound up messing up its color pallet so I simply got rid of it. I plan to try again. It is extremely freeing to know I can "play around" with things that would mess up a "real" machine without risk to my normal use of my mac and my work-related use of my other windows vm. Instantly flipping back and forth between my Mac OS and Win7 windows with a four digit swipe pleases me and surprises everyone I demo it to. Also, rebooting Win7 under the VM generally takes only seconds. My Mac's native cisco VPN client allows me to connect to work after which I then RDP from my Win7 to my machine at work. It all works seamlessly. It is possible that version 8 might give better support for my Retina display, and I expect I'll update eventually, but for now 7 has been extremely solid and meets all my needs.
